Don't put any sort of sealer between the carb and the gasket, but it's OK to use a small amount to glue the gasket to the intake. I also coat the top of the gasket (bottom of the carb) with a small amount of car paste wax, as a release agent. I do the same thing with my intake gaskets. I can pull the carb and/or intake scores of times and the gasket stay in place and are fine. This is done simply because I test a LOT of intakes and carbs, and don't want to buy gaskets every time I do a swap......Cliff
