I f you're not rejetting, you probably don't need anything. Modern carbs use o-ring gaskets, not crummy paper, so they are usually good for several teardowns and rebuilds. I've been into mine a half dozen times.
It's a good idea to replace the factory phillips head screws with hex heads for future teardowns. 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom (floatbowl). They are M5 metric, can't remember the lengths. Take one out of the top and one out of the bottom and buy 4 of each.

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

You can make the paper ones out of ... like a beer carton that doesn't have the glossy paint on the outside. Cool. Srinath.

I used the nylon available at Ace hardware and others. Info in the tech section. Jets go in from the bottom, floatbowl Spacer from the top, slide, watch for big floppy spring on top. Good luck,
