Help...more carb trouble!!

The brass fuel inlet on the top of my 34PICT3 carb came out on me today while adjusting the carb. Thank goodness it wasn't while driving it!! How do I go about fixing this. I have read somewhere about tapping it and threading a new inlet into it. Where do I get a new inlet with threads on one end. Also what size tap should I use. Any suggestions??

You can take a course file or rasp and roll it over the inlet tube on a piece of wood to create a knurled effect. This will give the carb inlet something to bite onto. Then use loc-tite on the inlet tube and tap it back into place.
