Title: Broke a tube in the carb - what is it called?
Post by HBTim on 09/13/20 at 07:50:04

There is a tube that I broke putting the bowl back on that slides through the gasket and up into the bowl. I appeared to have placed the gasket in the wrong way (wrong side down) to allow this tube to fit through. It bent it and when I tried carefully to bend back it broke. I had to use the right size drill bit and fit it in by hand and turned it out careful to not score the side walls. Now I cannot find any thing any where to buy one or what it is called, It does not show up on any schem's that I have looked at online.

It is just above the pilot jet along the bowl gasket and to the left looking at the carb with the float needle at the bottom.

I can get a picture in here if needed.

There is a picture of it in this thread when you get to float needle. If you look at the arrow that points to the main jet just right of the arrow while it is going down.

I beleive that is the tube that picks up fuel for the choke. It was not designed to be a replaceable part. You may be looking at replacing the carb body or get a junk carb and try removing that tube,

Concur with ckahleer. Fuel supply to enrichment circuit. If you live in a warm climate you might possibly be able to get by without the tube. It will be hard to start cold, but once warmed up it may not be a problem. Try it. It's not that hard to R&R the carb.

Next time, place the gasket on whatever has the crap pokin out.
