There is no Teflon or sealer of any type from the photo supplied. So our suggestion would be to start there. But more than likely the body of the carb is the issue from years of the fitting being removed and being over tightened. Unfortunately the idea of using a fiber washer or copper washer will not work as there is no seat or surface on the fitting (as seen in the photo attached) or carb body for it to sit flush so that it will seal. Same can be said for the idea of a helicoil. A conventional wire type can be prone to leakage especially with fluids that are thin like gasoline. So if threaded portion is damaged you would want to use a solid thread insert with sealer on the outer portion of the insert.
