It would be a LOT easier just to take off the affected carb and see if you
can put it back together. It is the tube that goes from the float bowl to
the jet and is actually part of the jet. With CARE, you can put it back
together but you gotta carefully remove the rubber ring that fits around the
metal tube and is held in place by the fitting that screws into the bowl bottom.
Put the tube back through the fitting, put the ring around it, and screw the
fitting back into the bowl while holding the tube in. Once the fitting gets
tight it should stay OK and not leak. Then you can put the carb back on.

It'll be easier if you take off the air cleaner(s) first.
