I recently put a new carburetor on my Craftsman 15.5 hp Briggs and Stratton (1998) OVH riding mower. I disconnected the breathing tube, even though I didn't need too, found out later, but now I can't reconnect it. It simply will not fit and I can't find anything online to show me how to connect it. It now seems like it is too short, I have to stretch it, and I simply don't know how to reconnect it. It is almost like I am missing a part. It's supposed to fit on the housing to the upper left of the tube but I am at a loss how to reconnect it and/or what I am doing wrong or not seeing. For better explanation I believe it fits inside the housing but using dish soap or other lubricants does not help push it in and I am pretty sure it does not fit over the housing. I guess I can just get a bigger hose and jury rig it by inserting it into the one end and just clamp it on. Any advice would be appreciated.
