Default Quick question on identifying hose

Okay, so I'm installing some nice braided stainless hose and have (for not exactly the first time) run into a problem...the hose shown here completely blocks the carburetor inlet, so I can't connect the fuel hose to it. Firstly, what does this hose do (the orange one on the right side, connected to the intake)?



Secondly, I need to know if I can simply move it to the inlet shown below, as it would get it out of the way...



Thanks in advance!

that is your heater hose, you can move it to that location in the front.

Hello
I agree that the orange hose should be your heater hose.

If you take off both fittings, can you verify that they connect to each other? If you can run a wire or tie wrap through and see that they are not blocked, then it should be possible to use this port so that you have access for your fuel line.
