You can probably solder the tube after washing it with acetone a few time and letting the vapors dissipate.  Soldering iron, not torch.  Use flux to clean and some steel wool before your acetone washes. The flux and solder will wick into the crack.  Just don't feed it too much solder...capillary action of the solder will wick it into the crack.  Getting entire tube hot will be challenge most likely.  60w or 100w iron will do the job...

Congrats on getting it legal and running well.  Glad you and your wife were not sucked into the wreck.

If I were you I'd switch bowls one and three for easier access to the outlet screw ;)

Thank you RAF. I was wondering if it could be soldered.

I'm guessing  these carbs have been all apart. I thought they were out of order with the outlet screw positions.
What really stinks is I can't reach the idle speed screw with bare fingers.
