I had the same problem with the carb in my '62 before the re-restoration. I
would push it back in and forget about until the next time it happened. I
finally remembered to deal with it when we pulled it out for the restoration,
and that engine ran fine for a lot of miles in Kirk's Bus as well. What I did
was clean out the hole and outside of the tube very well with carburator
cleaner then rubbing alchohol, then used lock-tite sleeve sealer and let it sit
to get good and glued in there. We never had the problem again.

I color myself fortunate on this one-- on my way to Psychoblooie, just 20 miles
nort of tAustin. I lose power and the smell of gas over takes my bus. Pulled
over and gas is spilling all of my engine. Grab the fire extinguisher,
disconnect the battery. NO FIRE, thank goodness!
It turns out the brass fitting that inserts into the left side of the carb came
loose with the fuel line still connected. So here is the question. How do I
fix this?
I made it back home. I will stay here tonight and figure out where to go from
here.
