Snapper 826 Snowblower carb kit

Can you post the engine make and complete model # (for the engine)?

Is this snow blower a tecumseh or briggs and stratton. I'm asking because, It pays to order a carb off of Amazon. With all the ethanol and water thats in the gas today unless you use Star-Tron which is a gas additive that after you pour an ounce into your gallon gas can then wait 45 minutes for it to work. If you still want to rebuild the carb and if it is a Tecemseh, you need the carb. tool that they sell it like 11.00 check the price of a new carb here---https://www.amazon.com/Carburetor-247-887001-31AS3CAD799-31AS6BCE799-Snow/dp/B0B5SQQ9XT you most likely will have to copy this link then go to amazon and type it in. This is a lot easier and cheaper

I don't see a re-build kit for that carb.  That carb is an oldie (adjustable, drain valve) but goodie. 
 
If the carb isn't leaking fuel, the needle and seat are probably ok.  
To clean where the needle sits inside, I'll use a q-tip, inserted into drill motor.  Put some metal polish
on the q-tip and run it thru the opening.  You can also do this, gently, with the needle.  
 
If the carb still doesn't run correctly, and the machine is that clean, I'd pop for an OEM carb (see link).
Buying an aftermarket, Chinese knock off carb is a 50/50 shot.  Most will have issues and you can't go wrong with the OEM.

Only use carb cleaner on the metal carb body.  Brake cleaner on everything else as it's not as harsh.
 
After cleaning and re-assembling, I'd put the fuel line on(with fuel) but don't bolt to the engine.
It's much easier to see if the carb is still overflowing (especially down the throat) fuel..  
 
If it is over flowing, likely it's the needle, or seat, or leaking float itself..

Re the gasket.  Purchase some gasket paper at the auto parts store (or use material like from a cereal box).
 
With a small BALL PEEN hammer, take your gasket material and hold it tightly up against the intake manifold (can use the carb but that's easier to damage) where the carb attaches.  With the ball end of the hammer, gently hammer the gasket into the 3 holes (2 small mounts and the center). Keep tapping until the material starts punching thru.  Now tap the outside or trace and cut the outside with a scissor. 
 
You'll now have a perfect gasket.  You don't need any sealer, nor would I just use sealer...
 
*if you tap / punch just the two smaller holes first, you can put 2 bolts thru to help hold the gasket.
Then punch the center and outside edge...
