It looks like someone has connected the two overflow lines from the carbs
together with the filter in the middle. It doesn't look like there's
anywhere for the excess fuel to go (no line to a carbon cannister) besides
the other carb, so maybe the see-through filter is a way to see if any fuel
is overflowing. It doesn't make sense to me if that's really what it is,
but people do funny things.

... But this thing, and what it is
supposed to do, is beyond me. Any clue?

What's this tube, why is there a fuel filter in the
line, and why does said filter appear to be completely
dry and never used?
Here is a picture in situ, for reference:

Should this be full of fuel? Is only one carb working,
or what gives? I can't seem to find a similar picture
in any catalogues or manuals....
