The old gaskets were just about cracked in half (carb's probably 10yrs old min., looks like it's never been touched since production), so yes, new gaskets all around. I am 100% all gaskets were the same as the previous ones. Also, I replaced the Power Valve (leaking like a siv and cracked), jets, and other misc. parts/pieces.

Found that the ground wire for the choke was corroded badly and not in good contact, also the + terminal wires are loose (need another washer to get a good, tight fit) so I'll be fixing that tomorrow if I have the time, so we'll see what all that does.

Also, fyi - all the plugs are new Copper plugs and copper wires (also new). Double checked (on photos) all the connections to make sure I didn't cross any (i.e. connect the #2 where I should've connected the #1, stupid stuff like that). Also changed them one at a time (to further prevent chances of crossing them ... done that before), so I think we can rule plugs/wires out of this.
