I'm currently working on pulling the carb set. in order to clean the pilot jets. the extent of my ambition stops at this one task... my question is- is it practical to reuse the old, or just bit the bullet and change out for new ones?
It's usually best to NOT reuse gaskets, seals or O-rings.
You are placing a bet on 17 year old rubber.
Yep, it aids assembly by holding the gaskets in place while handling......do other use this approach...

For exactly the that very reason, I "bond" the valve cover seals into the groove with some classic Pattex Contact Adhesive...
Correct...Otherwise, no.
