The short tube deliveres the fuel to the engine. The long tube delivers the fule to the cup in the tank. I agree with checking the spark plug. I had a honda that would start easy and sun a short time then quit. If you ran the engine fast it quit sooner than if you ran it slow. I swore it was running out of fuel. I did everything I could think of to the carb. Nothing worked. Bought some fancy carb cleaner and cleaned a clean carb. Finally my son said lets change the plug. We did it started and has run ever since. The plug was failing after it reached a certain temp. Depend on how fast you ran the engine how fast it got hot. The 5 hp hoz shaft carb is pretty simple. Make sure the inlet screens on the pickup tobes are clean. Those carbs are not made any more. In fact the only flat head 5 hp parts left are the ones Briggs made and stockpiled for cart racing.
