Double check the baseplate gasket.

double and triple checked. would it be a bad idea to double up the base plate gasket to see if that makes up for a small amount of warpage that might be in the base plate?

Run a straight edge across the surfaces and see if there's any gap.

are you sure the gasket is installed correctly sometimes they are the same front to back and upside down blocking passageways.................just an idea did this carb work well before its baseplate swap?????
