no! thats for the accelerator pump jet. A hose off of the carb lobster(plastic) should go to this.

Ok! I shall get it connected up tomorrow then! What does it do?:confused:

I don't have mine connected on my carb but it shouldn't be blocked up like that, just pull it off or as you say connect it back up to the twin T-piece that comes off carb top

Pull the pipe off and forget about it, mine is disconnected & unblocked.

this just backs up the accellerater pump diafragm with boost pressure so it doesnt balloon too much
