metal tubes on manifold to carb

[clarkja]

Rebuilt my carb today and noticed when I was putting it back on the intake that the metal tube that comes from the left side of the manifold and goes to the back of the carb was loose.I looked a little closer and it came right out of the hole that it appeared to have been pressed in to.I just pushed it back in the hole and reinstalled the carb like normal.I'm wondering what if any problems this might cause?Possible ways to fix it?
Thanks for any help,
James

I think all of them just sit in there, rather loosely, over time. The only function it performs is to provide heat to the choke.

I'd leave it.

Damage,INC. is correct, the lower end of the tube is slightly flared, to fit tighter to the intake side, and do work loose over time, if your really worried, you can flare it slightly and tap it back in place more snugly...
