I think that most of us usually reuse the old gasket, despite Mr Suzuki's suggestion to always change it, he's not as strapped for cash as we are. Unless it's totally knackered a smear of fuel-safe gasket dressing like Hylomar Blue does the job quite nicely. If you're keen to get her on the road again it's probably quicker to try that first as your Halfords/Supercheap/Repco or whatever is bound to have something like that on the shelves.

welcome back!!???
I have only ever used blue hylomar on both sides of gasket and go easy on doing it up, it dont need a lot!
Never had a leak and as long as the gasket still has a bit of life still in it all should be tickety boo.
