it's for the stove pipe carb pre heat hose.

It's the hot air intake for the air filter. It's used to feed warm air intpo the carb on cold days.

No I'd shitcan the cheap after market filter and get the correct oil bath air cleaner then hook up the preheat as it should be......

I dont have that steel pipe that's on your photo going to the crankcase just to the left of the pully ?
