do you mean the one for the automatic choke???
Or the one for the shut off valve
You can either solder it back on
or
i could have some old carbs lying around

sounds like the idle cut off solenoid. Can be replaced with a jet, or cut the end off, depends what car what year. You could even replace it with a
new one :o |

The front one is the electric choke, turn the ignition on and feel if the round metal part gets warm....if it does then it is working.....if not then
the connection inside is broken and it needs replacing

If I were you I'd drive the car over to a VW mech and ask him in person, it is so hard to answer your Q's becuase you don't know how to
explain what it is your asking (Shoulda seen me when I first started - this shiny thing where does it go on the engine? - hehe)
Or ask around here on the forums for a local VeeDubber to drop over and give ya a hand answering your Q's
I'd be there in a flash, Prob is it'd take me 14hrs to get there!! :P
Good luck dude, good idea to take photos like you have done!!
