ok 1 always replace the gasket 2 always smear grease on all sides of the gasket this will allow the gasket to shit slightly as required but be aware stay away from NOS the rubber is not ethanol proof and will breakdown with modern fuel then iy will feed cork crumbs into the carb [trust me thats a world of pain you dont want to enter] also dont overtighten the bail clamp as this will distort the housing and then its near impossible to get them to seal also fit a modern inline fuel filter between the tank and pump
