Hello. I opened up the panel on my generator today to change the oil, and noticed a small clear hose laying in the bottom of the housing. There are two clear hoses that exit the bottom of the generator through a small hole, with the ends of the hoses resting just above the surface of the ground. One of the hoses is hooked up to the bottom of the carburetor bowl, to drain it if needed. The other hose certainly "should" be hooked up to something, however I do remember snagging the bottom portion of the hose (that sticks out below the bottom of the generator) on something awhile back, and it must have pulled the other end of the hose off of "whatever it is supposed to be hooked up to" within the generator case. I will post a photo of the generator, and the hose in question. Just hoping that someone else who has this model can look inside of theirs, to see what that hose is supposed to be hooked up to. I looked all around inside of the case (as best as a person can), and can't see any obvious ports, etc. Also looked online, and have not yet had any luck finding a photo, diagram, etc. In the bottom photo, the hose in question is circled in red. On the right of the image, the hoses exit the bottom of the case. The rest of that hose is just laying in the bottom of the case.
Thank you.
