Johnson 1988 vro 225 hp fixing up a Frankenstein

[kcassells]

I started working on this motor this summer. Hasn't been wet for about 5 years. Running high on idle @2500 rpm on hose. Chased out some air leaks etc. Pulled carbs, hoses, gaskets to manifold.
The primer fittings below had no threads at all and were tapered as if "push in." The ports were not threaded either. Carbs with fittings pic and fittings out of carb.

Here are some pics, let me know if you seen this before.
Thanks.

Had some experience with go kart racing carbs that had press fit brass fittings. Had to be sure they are round and true to seal properly.

Yes they only press in.

 

[kcassells]

My confusion is the part reference shows them threaded. I want to replace whereas they are not checked or filtered. Anyone with further insight appreciated.

Yes they only press in.

What keeps them locked in? Part#?

 

[kcassells]

Well anyone have an idea of above?

 

[flyingscott]

why would they be filtered? if you are worried put a little loctite on them and press them back in. You pulled them out and they weren't threaded then. Why would they be threaded back in? They are just a primer nipple. Stop overthinking this

Hey thanks for the get back. I need to order 1 and was asking for a reference.
Is this the correct part?

Yes though unfortunately they are all shown threaded. I guess I'll take a shot with the one shown for fit.
On another note parts started arriving so got some time in breaking down the reeds.
Appreciate your help.

Thanks Faz, will do. Ant type of adhesive or sealant recommended.
Do any of you guys have any thoughts on my manual saying to use check valves?
I think if I need checks I could just put them in line with the tees or related fittings.
These fittings are not checked. Will that cause a problem? What came out aren't checked either.
Thanks.

Primer nipples are free flow as when the primer is off it is the check valve.
