Small fuel lines into powerhead? Pic attached

I have a 1996 Johnson 35 hp 3cyl. and there are some small little fuel lines coming from the bottom of the intake mainfold going to the side of the powerhead behind the ignition pack that have come loose and I'm not sure how they go back together. I can't find a schematic anywhere that shows them. Looks like they go right into the cylinder bores and I assume they are some aux. lubricating system or for priming but not sure. I'm also having trouble finding any replacement tubing as the old stuff is pretty well shot and it's really tiny tubing. Any help here is much appreciated. Check out the pic...

I found a schematic on marineengine.com that maybe shows the fittings I'm looking at, but it doesn't show the tube routing. They look like the recirc lines (only shows 2 and I have 3) and check valve/ transfer ports or maybe pulse nipples. Anybody know how they are connected together? I also found a reference to "boost" lines elsewhere but no routing info. Check out the link...it looks like either items #5 and #6 or... #10 and #12

Any help here, or can I find the info in the official OMC factory service manual for this motor? I think I can get one on ebay but hate to buy it if it won't show the tube routing...

I have scanned the factory manual as well , not much help there either.------Have seen these wee hoses pinched behind the pack as well.-------The automatic mixer / oiler should be taken off and thrown away.
 
Disappointed to hear... Do you have the official Johnson Evenrude shop manual or the SELOC one like I have? These fittings/hoses don't appear to be part of the VRO2 or "oil mixing system" since I removed the oil injection tank and mixing system years ago. I've been pre-mixing for many years without problems.:) Just need to figure out how these little hoses behind the ignition pack go back together.
 
I only use OFFICIAL manuals.--------The hoses are part of the recirc system.--------I own more than 1 of these motors.-----I think I have the hose routing sketched out somewhere and will try to find /post that when I have time.----Any proper small engine shop would have some 1/8" fuel line.
 
Thanks for the info racerone. These tubes have come loose on me before, but I was able to tell where they went on just by the shape and length of the lines. This time I'm not so lucky. 1 line is broken and another one is totally gone. The motor still runs, but makes a funny puffing sound...
