If you are separating the throttle body from the float bowl, there is also
a screw in the near exact middle of the throttle body pointing upwards from
the gasket surface between the throttle body and manifold. That screw is
frequently loose and contributes to carb base warpage and fuel leaks. Don't
ask me how I learned this one.
