The saga continues: what are these hoses on the carb?

Here's my aero:
Not bad when it's running. but here's the problem:
I don't know which hose goes where. I guess that's why I'm not getting any fuel to the carb huh?
Here's another view:
Anybody feel like helping me out here? I'm ready to not be as stupid about this anymore.

Last pic uppermost hose thats all dusty is fuel line, rest are drains/overflows. Make sure your fuel valve is working (thing on gas tank, when you suck on the not fuel line it should flow gas). I see the problem, there is no hase hooked to the manifold for the gas tanks vacuum connection, that or your oil injector isnt hooked up.

ok, so the dusty hose is the fuel line. the other three hoses on the carb are for draining.
Now when you say the "not fuel line" do you mean the hose that goes directly from the fuel pump into the back of the intake manifold?

There should be a hose running from the manifold to the tank valve and a hose running from the manifold to the oil pump. There should be no hoses on the manifold going nowhere.
