Carburetor part needed - help!
On a 1982 Carter 1 barrel [YFA] carburetor, the choke housing nut which secures the 1/4" metal tube coming from the exhaust manifold, has threads which screw into the carburetor carburetor body.
The 1970 Carter 1 barrel [YF] carburetor, which I am using, has the 1/4" metal tube secured with a nut which secures to the same housing, but the threads of the carburetor housing are on the outside [rather than inside, as above].
Does anyone have an extra nut which would work for the 1970 as described?
I don't know if this is specific to the Carter or perhaps can be found on other carburetors.
Thanks in advance!

my line might have snapped off at the exhaust manifold (carter yfa 1986)
what exactly should I do, it runs without it because it is an automatic choke, but i would prefer to have it back in place..
i would guess extend the pipe a bit and press fit back into place but i am afraid that the old one is still stuck in, drill it out?

I know his is an old thread but I went to the hardware store and bought a few feet of 1/4 inch copper tube. A standard pipe compression fitting should fit the choke. I made one loop around the exhaust manifold and was able to connect it to the supply by the Ventura. It has a low vacuum on it so you should at least plug it.
