could be the gasket, hard to tell without removing the bowl. I would be more inclined to think that #2 float needle is not sealing completly. Did you polish or clean up the needle seats?

Can I ask a "stupid" question...
If you were that far into it, why didn't you change the gaskets, ie, a carb kit?
