carburettor problem

[boaty]

Hello all, I have a 50hp tohatsu 2 stroke outboard. Recently i changed all the fuel hoses but I forced a hose onto a plastic part on the middle of the three carbs and It snapped off. the part that broke was a T joint where the fuel hoses connect on either side and go into the carb. My problem is that i now have no idea how to pull the T joint out! i have tried forcing and twisting but it wont come out so i cant replace it...anyone got any ideas of how to get it out? surely i dont haveto get a new carb for something so small and fragile!

That tee fitting on the center carb is indeed part of the fuel inlet for the center carb. You may be able to cobble up something that will work, if you are careful and crafty, but, AFAIK, the fitting is not available (separately) from Tohatsu.
