I am replacing my carburetor on my lawnboy with Tecumseh engine. When I took the intake off I saw this red tube in the engine. I am new to motor repair and don't really have a clue about whether this is supposed to be there or not. The reason I am concerned about is that the red tube that is supposed to be coming out of carb towards air filter is not there anymore. Could this red tube make it's way through the carb? The pic is looking into the engine where the intake was removed. Please let me know if I should leave this in or remove it. My brother in law says its a breather tube but I haven't been able to find anything online to support that.

The tube does in the intake side of the carb near the air filter. It should push into one of the holes and stick out into the air cleaner. the idea is to avoid cavitation of the carb fuel bowl vent leading to a running problem.

Yes I understand the one that is near the air filter. But this is down in the engine where the intake manifold connected to motor. Should I pull this out or leave it?
