Can anyone tell me about the vent line on the fuel pump, it vents into the forward carb air intake.
The plastic line on mine is clear and I can see bubbles and I can see the line fill with liquid when the engine is started. I don't know how much liquid is leaking by, I just noticed it this afternoon and I didn't have enough time to take it apart and run into a jug. I do not believe this was happening last year.
It doesn't seem to affect the running of the engine.
Thanks in advance.
