Check BikeBandit or Dennis Kirk, I don't think they are very expensive, maybe $20.00 if that

Just replace them both. You're digging around your bike anyways, you might as well replace both and avoid the hassle of doing it all again when the other snaps.

and, well, pull is the one that pulls the carbs open, push is the one that pushes them closed

Think of your throttle hand. You pull the throttle open and push it closed.
