If you have not previously come across it this is a great source of information on your carburetor (use the arrows at the top of the web page to scroll through the manual):

My memory from rebuilding a 1901 is that there are no gaskets below the fuel line in the float bowl. You have a confusing issue. |
I downloaded a manual for the carb, looked at the diagrams and there are only a couple things in the fuel bowl, main jets, power valve and main fuel inlet needle/seat. After I shut the car off, I've noticed gas dripping from the accelerator pump discharge nozzle. I've managed to learn just enough so far to get me in trouble, so I'm not digging into anything yet !!!
