Hey guys, this is probably a silly question, but here goes, directly below my carb, i have 2 thin rubber lines that run to each cylinder on the intake side

click on bleed system on left
Do these lines supply fuel to the combustion chambers? Theres check valves that prevent the fuel from going the other way so it has to be dumping fuel into the cylinders right? Reason I ask is I replaced them both yesterday, but the ones that came off had the tiniest of holes in them, hard to believe anything could run thru them. The replacements had a significantly bigger passage for the fuel. Almost like the old ones had swollen themselves almost shut, looked great on the outside though.
I've been having power problems that might be related to fuel starvation so I'm just wondering if those tiny hoses are what supplys fuel to my motor.
Thanks
Matt
