Hi

I have been having on going issues with old rover rancher with 12HP B&S. I have given up taking it to shops they just seem to "patch up" rather than fix things properly and tell me what is really wrong..If I didn't know any better they want to spend as little time on the each job and get as much money as possible, or is that just my cynical side talking??

Anyway, replaced the battery today (old one was cactus) and then noticed fuel leaking from carby. I pulled a few things off to see what was going on and I found a little rubber "Z" shaped hose had come off from the carby.. see pics

My question is, what is this little rubber hose for? the fuel obviously goes down through the metal body towards the spark plug....

I have pushed the hose back on but I suspect it is going to come off again given the vibration from the mower and the terrain I mow smile

Thanks
Nathan
