slightly knurl the end (with some pliers, perhaps), tap it back into the 
carb, dimple the metal with a punch or small nail around the tube to help 
hold it.  If you're really paranoid, also use some locktite and wire the 
hoseclamp (you *will* be using hose clamps, won't you?) to one of the carb 
top screws

Alternately, tap it out and thread a fitting.  I'm guessing here, but maybe 
1/8" NPT (same as the oil pressure sender) would do it.
