Yes, but there usually isn't.
Just prise it off, the gasket will be sticking it to the bottom of the carb.

Re: Pierburg 2e3
Thanks for your help
It was hard to distinguish the gasket from the packing plate on the bottom of the carb it was that faded,I sanded it off (I think) but should the actual packer come away from the carb or is it fixed and part of the carb

Yes, have a look at the end of the rebuild video. I cut mine out of 4mm gasket paper as the kits dont come with one.

Re: Pierburg 2e3
Thankyou very much ,love this forum people like you are so helpfull
On a side note I followed your blog to the letter on the gearbox oil change very helpfull with good pictures
I've got an order arriving tomorrow from brickwerks so should hopefully get the carb back together and a few other jobs on the list done aswell ,I've not gone for the full carb refurb as van was running ok but choke pull down unit needed changing hence the gaskets
