Just picked up this 85 Seville. Only has 52 hours and has been dry stored all its life. I have fired it up and ran it for about 10 minutes twice. While going over the engine I noticed this hose not connected. It comes from what I believe is the fuel pump. Look like it attaches to the plug on the carb. What is this hose and does it need to be connected?

That hose comes from the fuel pump . It is a safety hose if the pump starts to leak it draws the fuel into the carb instead of leaking into the bilge
 
Yep, I found that in the manual later on yesterday. So I will get a new piece of tubing and extend it up to the carb. Thanks for the info.
