The one on the casing broke off
I'm trying to picture the carb engine nipple locations. I modified a pair of Vise-Grips many years ago. I made a slide hammer out of them. I clamp the fitting with the Vise-Grips (Gently) and use the slide hammer to (gently) remove the fittings. The fittings are not tight and are easy to remove. With the slide hammer rig I can remove and replace the same fitting without damaging it. Fittings cost $30 and I keep a couple of spares. Picture is of the fittings to which I believe you are referring. This is a DI but the Carb model fittings are on the opposite side of the engine. These fittings are actually check valves.
Re-inserting I use loctite 609 and (gently) tap the fitting into position. Easy Peasy. Good Luck.

I actually have a Di that im going to rebuild that needs one. Do you have a picture of your vice grip tool?
This is a video of the tool. They probably sell something like this today. I made it in 1976. 
Very very handy tool to have. I've made others as well. It is all about "how" you like to work. Tool preferences are as different as people doing the work. Good Luck !!

Love that tool, I have a welder so I will definitely be making one of these in the future. Just have to figure out what I’m going to use for the weight, luckily I keep all my old parts from automotive repairs even when they are junk so hopefully I will have something lying aroundThis is a video of the tool.

My BIG CAUTION is, you'll notice where the slide meets the end piece and both have a nice bevel. It wasn't like that last year. The end piece had a squared off face/edge. For 40 years I used that thing and last year the palm of my hand got pinched near my little finger. Whew, Ouch. Needless to say I immediately put the thing in the lathe and gave some relief. Wasn't too bloody but I had a reminder for a week.
Being me, talking to my tools and stuff I work on is normal. So I told that tool.... 40 freakin years you been waitin to GET ME !! Enjoy IT !!!! cuz it won't happen again you @$#&!! I am getting better with my cursing though, I love this work too much to complain like I do. Such a Blessing to be able to do these things we all do and accomplish what we accomplish. Not many people can.
