Default Mercruiser 6.2L engine alarm problem

Very nice work James. Kudos to you. I just had a couple of thoughts
though. My recollector is getting pretty rusty, but something tells me
that once the fuel line reaches the engine, it should convert to double
flared steel. I also am wondering if it is OK to use a non metallic fuel
filter inside an enclosed engine space. I like to see rubber fuel lines
double clamped, but maybe that's just because I'm a belt/suspenders kind
of person.

By way of credentials I built the engine in my boat. Just finished a
valve adjustment after a cam change this spring in this picture. Block
is a 40 over 350 from a 3/4 ton panel truck with aluminum heads and
intake. Roller cam, lifters, and rockers. Stainless marine exhaust with
Corsa cutouts. Plus custom cooling and lowered alternator and power
steering pump.

I am also curious about something. What's that yellow colored (appears to
be plastic) tubing that runs from the carb, down below the fuel filter and
down someplace for? Is that the float overflow?
