Can’t figure out where the fuel hose goes on this guy. Also, which screw is the idle screw and is a right turn or left turn higher idle?
Should my first engine start be with choke open or closed?
I’ll post better pictures in a little bit for now...

This is what I have.
I suspect that my fuel tank isn’t high enough in relation to the carb. Also there is a leak between the reed valve and the engine.

well, this is where the fuel line goes (its the second one), the reed valve should have a perfect seal.
i suggest you tighten the 4 bolts that are on the reed assembly.
the engine should have the CHOKE ON when your starting the engine, and then turn it off when the engine is running.
your fuel tank should be fine as it only need to be above the base of the tank.
and the idle screw is the one on the vertical cylinder part on the carburetor ( i forgot which way it turns, but i suggest you experiment)
ive circled it for you.
