Thank you the engine is a 4 stroke and everything is clean and I replaced the fuel line to the filter and new filter.
I noticed to the left of where the carburetor bolts on there is a round pipe that comes from the engine. What is supposed to go on it thanks.

just a GUESS that is a crankcase vent. Probably goes to the carb or air cleaner.

I thought so but can not tell where it hooks up on the air cleaner. There is a small line on the other side that comes from the air cleaner to the engine can't tell where it goes it goes under the covers maybe a fuel vent.

We keep advising people to buy parts from real parts stores and not ebay / amazon for this exact reason
Lots of stuff there that has been rescued from the factory scrap metal bin then sold as "OEM"
SO another case of
"he who buys cheap pays twice "

Thanks for closing the thread and please get your parts from a dealer or one of the genuine on line stand alone specalist small engine parts retailers .
It will save you a lot of time & frustration is nothing else .
