85 hp carb rebuild uh oh!!

[gussbuster]

Hey guys, I have a 1989 85 hp force and thought it would be a good idea to rebuild my carbs this year.....2 went smooth...the last one....well....Mine have a fixed tube down the center that have a removable, larger diameter tube over top of them. I guess its the main breather tube. On the outside body of the carb, opposite the bowl, there is a cup plug that i was removing to clean the breather tube. The cup plug ended up jammed in the breather tube and while trying to get it out i pretty much destroyed the tube...as far as I know I can not replace that tube....so now i have a problem. Anyone know where I can get a replacement carb for an 89 85hp? I would consider a carb set if it was bolt on ready. Please help! Thanks guys!

And I just found out that my carbs are from the last serial range of the 85hp motor. They are the same carbs used on the early 90hp models i believe. What are my options here?

Thanks again!

see my private message. I am near Philly and have tons of carbs--both matched sets and singles.
