Doesn't your carb have a flange on the body? If the gasket falls off when I remove the bowl, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, I just put it on top of the bowl and then place the bowl back on the carb. The flange helps to align it if I remember right.

The (glue?) Honda used was to keep the gasket in place as the carb was assembled.
When the gasket needs to be replaced a NOS one will stay in place because the prongs for the float shaft will hold it. .....lm
