It very much looks like a slide valve motorcycle carb.
Edit: Sorry, I just saw that you said it was a MC carb in post #42. So, it is the needle hole. Weird break.

They broke because some idiot installed the little atomizers in the holes incorrectly, (backwards), and the larger end pushed right through the soft aluminum when I...err...he tightened them down.
I’ll post pictures tomorrow of the offending parts and it will all make sense.
