Verify that both gasket mating surfaces are clean and free of corrosion. It will probably be necessary to remove the fuel bowl to properly clean the metal surface.

Use only a cork gasket.

Verify that the bail is not deformed and that the threaded nut workes as it should. Rotary wire wheel works well to clean threads, etc.

Tighten as tightly as possible with fingers. It is still seeps, tighten a bit more after a couple of days using small pliers or channel-locks.

Assuming that you have a glass fuel bowl. If plastic bowl, check gasket surface on a flat surface such as a piece of glass. Ir warped, it will not seal.
