1980 carburetor fuel nipple help

[w1bcr]

hi all
ok so we have a 1980 johnson j70elcsa i pulled off a junk boat
in the process of troubleshooting the fuel system the feed nipple on middle carburetor broke off
i got the broken part out by removing fuel bowl and pushing it out with a drift
my question is does the new on just press in ? or do i need to add loctite or anything ?
thanks jim

The parts break down for that carb doesn't show the nipple. So if it fell out use some red Loctite and put it back in.

You need to replace the float bowl to get that part. Or go to the hardware store and find one that works and put it in.
