Bummer.. If the fitting just came out at the bottom it can be jb welded. If it's broken at the top where the choke plunger goes in the opposite side,then that's a tough area to repair. I've had these break at this point and a small portion of the tube was lodged in the carb.I didn't have too much luck with any type of repair that would hold on this area of the carb.

Not good.. Ebay is your best bet either for a used carb or you might look at the Chinese HO knockoff carbs to see if one might work.
