Broken Zenith carburetor casting

In 2022 I bought a replacement Zenith carburetor for my Super C. Since replacing it, I have had many issues with fouling plugs and the carb being too rich. I decided to investigate this, and removed the carb and opened it up. Upon seperating the two halves I noticed that part of the upper casting is broken! I don't know how this would have happened but, I need to find a solution. Would JB weld be good for this repair? I did notice the needle was hanging up and I believe to be causing my problem. I kind of wish I would have bought an old cast iron carb and just rebuilt it!
