Thank you everyone. According to the info y'all have shared I need part 498298 which is the whole carb. They don't sell just the body anymore. Jack's Small Engine has it for $82.94 + shipping. I tried a local small engine shop which has it for $104.45. The other place I was going to try locally was closed today so I'll try Monday. I feel brazing would be a gamble.

If that doesn't go well I'll see who's cheapest and just order one. I'd rather do that as this engine has electric start etc than repower the tiller with a pull start harbor freight engine. Thanks for all the advise!
