85 Yamaha 70 ETLK how many gaskets, plates, packing between reed block and intake

[UncleJimbo]

Wondering how many gaskets, plates and packings go between reed block housing and intake manifold and in what order?

I disassembled last year and it would appear that only one thick gasket was between reed housing and manifold based on what's remaining between individual reed assemblies and the housing. However the parts schematic shows 2 gaskets, a valve plate and a valve packing????

I'm wondering if this is a case of a schematic showing multiple configurations for a single model year or simply that I somehow threw out a couple of layers that I mistook for gasket material???

Any advice on what's going on in this small but significant area would be appreciated.

Gasket on both sides of reed plate sealing reeds to plate and plate to block and plate to intake manifold.
