Staybrite 8 is an 8% silverbearing soft solder whose melting point is really low, low enough for Mapp or Propane or Acetylene only (Prestolite), but not a good choice for this application. It comes in a roll.
Stay-silv makes a 6% or 15% silver solder, but it will be difficult to make a steel bond, but if you try it, make sure you use the Harris white paste flux only. These come in sticks, one pound to the pack.
What I use for this application is 45% or 56% silver that is sold by the troy ounce and should be available at the local air conditioning supply house. Locally, 45% currently costs $31.60 per troy ounce. This comes in a coil, usually in a hard plastic case. The Harris white paste flux would be the one to use with this product. Good Luck.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
