The emulsion tube for the main jet on one of the carbs I have is cracked from the bottem to the top straight up. Will this cause a problem and if so is the carb body trash or can it be changed

Yeah Jon....it'll cause a problem. I have never replaced one cause the tube is pressed in and cannot be readily removed. But....I ran into this once. It was on an older engine. I don't know how bad the crack is on yours but if it's hair line, clean the tube real good and solder it. Be careful of the little holes in the bowl end. Then smooth it out with some sandpaper. Worked for me...... :)
