Edit: No, the fitting is just sweated. The earlier brass nipple ones are less likely to leak, especially if you put them on with 3M scotch-grip 847. Check 1980 115 carburetor for the brass.

I was wrong about the threads on the brass, there are none. The fitting was seated with sealer like 847.

i've ordered an $80 bowl. going to try something with bad one. going to try to get the plastic out, the try to tap it, just for kicks. if it works i will let you know, and return the new bowl.
