Well, it sounds like it's junk basically. But, you could try gluing the main in or maybe using some JB Weld to make it work. Maybe even try threading the JB welded area with a tap I guess. Sorry to hear about the trouble, sounds like maybe someone tried to tighten the main jet to much and stripped it.

Is that a piece that can be ordered from Sudco? I'm looking at the inside of my PWK 38 A/S right now, and the place where the main and slow jets thread in has a couple screws going into it, and looks to be removeable. It looks like you'd need a special torx bit with a hole in the middle of it to do so.

That nozzle comes out just like a Mikuni carb. Find something the right size a tap it out. It comes out the top and the main jet is what holds it in. It may even have some kind of # stamped on it.
