Fuel starvation issue on my HJ75

[Halfamillonmy2h]

Hello,

I'm having a fuel starvation issue with my 2H
I'm suspicious about a fitting on the engine, I believe it's the edic motor but I would appreciate any and all advice as to what the fitting is for and if a hose should be on it?

All suggestions appreciated
Needs to be fixed asap

if you take the arm off (edic) and drive it does it go normal? of course this means you have to reach in and manually shut it off, or leave in gear and drop the clutch
