weber install use a gasket sealer?

when installing my gaskets for the weber carb should just use the plane gaskets or should i use some kind of gasket maker/sealer? i know not to use RTV but wasnt sure if i would have intake leaks when using just the plane gaskets.

thanks,
Mitch

Generally no sealer/adhesive/anything is used on carb gaskets, whether carb component related or base gasket.
The only reason you would have leaks is if the gasket was damaged on installation or your mounting surfaces are damaged.
