Remove the air cleaner and air box. Disconnect hoses and mark them so you know the proper reconnections. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the carburetor to the manifold. Remove the old gasket with a scraper and clean any remaining residue with degreaser. Clean the degreaser off completely. Apply gasket sealant to both sides of the new gasket and apply in place of the old one. Repeat the process in reverse order to place the new carburetor.
You'll never see a carburetor installed from the factory with sealant. It's not necessary, and can cause problems if any of the sealant gets into the intake tract.
