You still having problems with an air leak somewhere I guess ?

There's no real specific symptoms that would suggest an inlet gasket failure alone - it's cheap and easy to change, so just do it to rule it out.

Did you consider the carb service kit I suggested too - ideal time to do them both i'd say ;)
