Most of these are black, flexible hoses, about the diameter of a pencil. There are several, and they connect to a lot of different places. See if you can find one that is dis-connected, or cracked, or split. See if you find a metal or plastic fitting, about half the diameter of a pencil, maybe 1/2 inch long, that looks like it should have a hose connected to, but is not connected to anything.
I've heard you can spray carburetor cleaner around the hoses, while the engine is running, and see if the engine speeds up. If so, the area being sprayed probably had a crack or split.
Hope some of this helps.
