This piece came out of the bottom of the carb next to the idle screw / float bowl. I tried to stick it back in the hole but it wont stay. Can someone give me some advice on how to make this piece stay in?

Not sure how to make that piece stay in, but I believe that it is actually broken.    It looks like a piece of copper tube that one of your fuel lines connects up to.  I know that's not much help, and it may be all wrong as well.  Maybe someone who actually knows will post.

nope, you're right. that piece looks a lot like the vacuum line intake for the carb.... I'm no expert but my diagnosis is new carb body, tough break there. I don't think epoxy or any strong adhesive will do the trick... maybe welding?

Welding won't work you can try JB Weld or simular brand.Next thing I would do is flare the end a little with a screw driver and gently tap it in.I doubt it will seal tight with this method.

It is definitely a vacuum line. Damn sucks for me.. i'l try JB weld.

However it looks like the nipple on the other side is loose to, probably about to fall out too..

Dude, that is a worthless EBA crap. Cap it of plug it or weld the thing shut.

If he gets inspected for smog equipment, he my be turned down for a new inspection sticker.

CA does not have yearly inspections. All other states dont have it. Its a self defeating set up.
