Hmm, no, I wouldn't do that. Silicone in my view doesn't belong anywhere internal on an engine, including the carburetors. Think cholesterol for engines/carbs. Spoke nipples (dirt bike guys used to do this), brake anchor bolts (before thread lockers became common), and elsewhere, but all external, no internal. Besides, gasoline and silicone and known to not get along well. In fact, personal watercraft techs actually use gasoline as the solvent of choice to remove the silicone sealer that seals the jet pump to the hull (it softens it).
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have more to say about silicone sealers on my website. The bane of the industry, as far as I am concerned.
