Re: What's this tube?

That's a heat tube that supplies hot air to the choke. You need it. Define what you mean by "broke it", did you just break the top off where it sticks out a little, or is the whole thing destroyed?

And there's actually two pieces of this tube, per say. There's a piece that's supposed to be permanently in the manifold, and the other piece that actually goes from that tube to the carb. If it's the latter, you can make a new one using a piece of brake line and a compression fitting. If it's the former, that's a little more difficult but can be done as well.
