Danny, try the tube back on the side of the carb again and put a new spark plug in as well. i had a similar problem and even though the plug was sparking when tested it was covered in oil. a plug on a 2 stroke engine is done when it is covered in oil unless you have a sandblaster plug cleaner

Danny, its possible that the tube from the manifold goes to the vacuum operated fuel tap (often under the seat). The other possibility is that it is the oil delivery pipe from the oil pump.
