I don’t know what you call this part of the carburetor but it popped off. Is there an easy fix for this or must I buy a new carb ? It’s the part my finger is pointing at.

Fuel inlet fitting? Is it broken off? It looks like it is still in place in the picture.... -
It just popped out. If you PM me your email I can send you a videoComment

You can post the video here for all to see.
Also you could post video on YouTube and share the link.
Or another picture with it out?Comment

As your engine is apparently 2004 or older, it appears to be the fuel inlet for the carberator : https://www.boats.net/catalog/yamaha...lrc/carburetor .
(A model # is always helpful)...
Looking back several years, it does NOT show that part separately.
I suspect cleaning the area well and re-installing with say RED Loctite or some other product will be the fix short of buying a new carburetor.
Another Loctite product that should work: http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/epx...g-Compound.htmLast edited by TownsendsFJR1300; 06-21-2018, 05:00 PM.Scott

Plus 1 with what Mr. Townsends says above. Although loctite red is very strong, it may be a bit thin for this repair.
It seems like the fit is not very close on these pieces...so maybe something like JB weld, which is quite a bit thicker.
Needs to be cleaned with brake clean for a good bond. Don't need gobs of it. A decent amount on the part that fits into the carb so there is a bit of squeeze out and you are not pushing it IN the carb.
Good Luck.Comment

+1 JB weld, seems to be good for fuel as well : https://www.jbweld.com/pages/faqsOriginally posted by panasonic View Post
If the fit is really sloppy, you could CAREFULLY expand that piece by gently tapping something into the fitting ( small socket, drill bit -smooth part that attaches to the drill motor, etc) expanding it just a tad..Scott
