damaged inlet

[NMB]

Hi just had a small mishap with my motor 75HP the air box in front of the carbs got busted and the fuel inlet on the top carb got bent,can it be replaced without replacing the whole carb and if so does anyone have a part # for it please oh and if anyone has a spare box in their garage and want rid of it

Yamaha doesn't sell the inlet hose nipple on carb separately, not sure if would be able repair it not.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Considering the age of the motor,'81 according to the "local" dealer,ninety mile round trip, I think I'll try and repair with a piece of brakeline, tap the carb thread the line and copious amounts of perfect seal or something like that and hope for the best.Thank you for the info,as always appreciated.
