Well I fixed my issue. Took the vapor separator off twice! Cleaned it TWICE! Turns out the vent hose pours fuel out of it without change! So I looked at it again… the owner before me apparently switched the supply hose with the return hose…. Soo once all plumbing was hooked up the correct way...
Sorry if this was answered but it is right in the manual … the pink tube is a drain tube for the fuel system when removing the motor from the boat. The little screw above it in the aluminum block is the drain screw. The little tab on the tiller tensioner is just a keeper.
