Glad you finally got it going. You've been working on it for almost a year.

The carb bowl gaskets will shrink if they have been exposed to gasoline and then let dry. So they shrunk. They will re-inflate upon exposure to gasoline. Its best to soak them overnight in gasoline, but they'll eventually swell back up if you just install them, but you'll have a leak in the mean time.
