What Dean posted.
I have broke a few thermo housings early on in my career :cry:
It always was the most expensive and a replacement were days out.
I install the thermo in its grove (head/intake are housing) then glue (3M 8001 contact cement) the gasket to the head/intake are housing to retain ( trap it) the thermo (you can use a few bolts to line up the gasket) Then apply a little RTV to the other side of the gasket. (yes its acceptable to apply sealer here)
The RTV will help seal plus if you ever have to remove it the gasket will not be married to the part it seals again.
If you break a housing you need to ask why and not re-pete what you just did again. If you have a leaking hose you best ask your self why, RTV used to seal a hose connection is not the answer in my opinion unless theirs no other option. Applying RTV to a hose connection will come back and bite you weigh out the options live with the circumstances your call.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
