Gary - That might just work! Note that my jeweler buddy was thinking soldering the tube together without removing the seat. Inserting a pencil lead to insure the tube stays open is a good idea - as long as the lead does not break off when you pull it out! Another possibility: Bond the tube back together with JB Weld or Hysol epoxy patch. I've had excellent luck with this stuff holding busted parts together in the carb on my Minnie Mo U. Also successfully patched a bad float in my attorney's Cub with the stuff. Trick is to clean the mating surfaces to bare metal, then degrease with trichlor (brake cleaner) or similar evaporating degreaser before assembly to assure a good bond. And to make certain the tube does not get plugged with epoxy when bonding, insert a smooth wire of the proper OD - lightly lubed with "Pam" cooking spray or motor oil - into the jet before bonding. --- If you do manage to locate a replacement jet, removing the remnant of the old one from the bowl may be easier if you heat the area with a propane torch or a GENTLE acetylene flame (e.g. plumber's sweating torch) first. Get it good and hot (but not red!), then allow to slowly air cool back to ambient before attempting to unscrew it.
