Mumbles, Nope the vent tube that goes to the tank hooks to the top of the float bowl. I think I will drill n tap the little hole out and install a small nipple that I have in my come handy box. Put a hose on it. That way I can send any loose gas away from the spark jumping area. These Evinrudes were before the war technology. Johnson TN and TD’s of this era were way better machines, IMHO lighter, simpler. I try to figure how things work when I have a machine apart. These are strange carbs for sure.
