A tip from our club's Model A Guru, don't use one of the thicker gaskets (copper) that mate the carb to the manifold. The thin gasket between the carb and the manifold will do nicely as long as you've flattened the mating surfaces. I also took time to flatten the mating surface of the carb halves. Good luck.
Good for you! I flow test all my own jets and have built many Zenith carbs. very simple and easy to do.
