 It's called and emulsion tube and you're going to have to find one use. It looks like this, right? (This one is dirty...before cleaning)

yup thats it...i got a new set of carbs..still got the old ones but 3 out the 4 are in bad shape...im gonna try an pull 1 out but thanx now i know the name so i hunt 1 down if that dont work

 Clean them up real well with carb cleaner. Maybe use some 0000 steel wool on the outside. They'd have to be pretty corroded to not work. Just use the best 4 you have, but make sure the holes are the same size/spacing. Honda may have made minor changes over the years.
