if you messed with the sending unit in the tank and couldnt find all of the gasket, did you ever think that parts of the gasket are plugging the fuel pickup? poor running seems to happen after you messed with the tank. It may be time to drop the tank & see whats inside. you might try blowing compressed air back from the carb thru the fuel line to see if that improves things. just thinking ....
