Remove the fuel Line From the Carb (Blue 1967 Vespa Sprint 150)

Ok so a bit different than the books describe, I was expecting a softer hose and a different path for the fuel plus a clip holding it in place - didn't get that exactly here is what I found

Fuel Line was heading downward through a rubber hose, a grommet onthe lower carb to protect against chaff - NO clip Present

It was too tight to just pull the hose off so I decided to remove the nut, There are TWO small gaskets one on either side of the hose fitting the smaller fits inside the fitting and the larger seals it to the rest of the carb - the bolt is inserted into the small end


a little twist and the hose came out, feels a bit old but seems to be holding well enough, might replace this later. Note I re attached the flange & gaskets so they don't get lost
