What are the two hoses on a carburetor?

What is the hose on the bottom of a carburetor?
Some carbs do not have a drain screw. They have a hose attached to bottom of carb. This has a seal in the end to stop FUEL coming out. It is only used for carb servicing/draining.
Where do the carburetor hoses go?
They are on the left side rear of the carb. Attach a hose to each one and run them either to the upper airbox area underneath the seat, or down below the carbs and to the rear of the engine. Like you said the petcock has two tubes; one is a vacuum and the other is the fuel feed to the carbs.
What do carburetor vacuum lines do?
Vacuum is caused by the engine “inhaling” the fuel/air mixture when it is running. The intake manifold is between the carburetor, or air box (fuel injected), and the engine. Manifold vacuum is what the vacuum lines are connected to the manifold for. ... These help keep your engine operating at peak efficiency.
Why is gas pouring out of the carb overflow?

Why is my carburetor spitting out gas?
If it's spitting gas out the horn of the carb, it's a timing issue. This timing issue could be way too much timing, way too little timing, or most likely ... plug wires on wrong, so they're firing at the wrong time.
What is a carburetor overflow?
Why is my carburetor overflowing with fuel? ... It means that the needle valve in the fuel bowel is stuck in the open position. Usually the gasoline fills the carburetor bowl up to a certain level and then the carburetor float will lift the needle and close the valve so no more fuel will come in.
How do you seal threaded fuel lines?
