Not Ranked
I would take the carb off, remove the gasket, refit the carb on the studs and see if the carb does sit flat, and does not rock side to side, front to back, and diagonally.
Being a Quick Fuel, I doubt the carb is a problem.
If you are using studs and nuts, you would generally break a mounting "ear" off the carburettor before stripping a stud.
Does your carb have a billet or cast throttle body?
Are you sure you have a real vacuum leak, and not just the tiny vacuum leak that many have at the throttle shafts?
