Craftsman GT6000 26HP Kohls vent hose location?

[raykeen13]

I have a hose that goes from the engine back to the back around the fuel tank somewhere. Any ideas?

Lets start with the actual model and spec number from the engine tag so we can see what setup you have. Also the model number info from the tag under the seat will allow us to see the rest of the system. Most likely that hose goes from a nipple on the air cleaner base to either the top of the fuel tank or to a charcoal canister.

Could this have anything to do with where this hose goes? This is on to is the transaxle.

There should be a short hose attached to that nipple on the tranny that just points downward to act as a vent. Doesn't look like that hose have been in place for some time. There is also another hose that goes from a nipple on the air filter housing to a connector on the side of the engine. And then from that connector to a nipple on top of the fuel tank that captures the gas vapors and pulls then into the engine to be burnt.
