Need help with routing of tubes around carb!

From the service manual I have correctly routed the fuel line, oil line and vacuum lines to the oil pump and fuel valve.

What I need is a picture or routing for the rear of the carb facing the jug. There is a tube/neck under the carb bowl and one facing outward at the back by the jug, just above where the bowl meets the top of the carb. (the upper plastic cowl has a routing space for something there)Page 6-4 in the middle has a good view of the rear of the carb from the right side. They show a tube going down from the bowl to between the belt arm and the tire. Is this right? Is it a venting tube? What would it be venting?

Any good pics of all sides of the carb installed would be great. The service manual and powersports.com do not give enough info.

Thanks in advance

there doesent have to be tubes for those. they are just a vent and the bottom is a drain.

That's what I thought, since I could not figure that a 2-cycle carb would have any other needs for tubing/vacuum. I was confused by partsfish diagram that showed two tubes.

Thanks Vette76

I hope to post pics of my frame off restoration for under $100.

i know the bottom is drain. the top i am guessing is a vent because on the spree it doesnt have a tube and on my elite is has a very small tube that just angles down and doesnt go anywhere.
