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

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

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