Car repair 101!

1. Take the carb off the engine, take no chance of dropping metal shavings into the manifold or carb. DRAIN ALL FUEL. Tip it upside down, actuate accelerator pumps to exhaust ALL fuel. Let it sit for a short while to evaporate. DRAIN ALL FUEL.
2. Look at the bolt, 3 marks = grade 5 use HSS drill bit, 5 marks = grade 8, use cobalt bit . Mental note to self "Did I use locktite???" If so you will probably need to use a little heat, hence the need to remove ALL fuel.

3. Obtain an "Easy Out" stud remover from the hardware store and drill the correctly sized hole in remaining part. Insert the tool into the drilled hole & twist. the tool will have LH twist on it so it tightens into the broken stud. It's that simple.
4. Use a stud instead of a bolt for replacement.
