Did I Hurt My Buddy During Transport

So I'm staring longingly at my buddy today and I notice that there is a small hose hanging from it. Does this look normal to everyone else, or is it something that could have become loose during transport? I've only had her for a few days, and I started it up for a minute or so just to make sure she would run - besides having to press the starter button a few times, she sounded okay.
Anyone want to ease my paranoia

Without being able to see the pic clearly, usually any tubes you see like
that are a vent for the gas tank or other receptacles/devices where one wants
to prevent a vacuum [so to keep the gas flowing to the engine].
Get on your knees and sniff the end of the tube. Smell like fuel?
Bonus tip: try not looking like a pervert when doing so. Buddy molesters
are getting five years prison now, or so I'm told.

Actually, I kinda felt like a pervert when I got on my knees to take a closer look.
How to s*x a Buddy...

No. That one which is being delineated by the arrow is the carburetor float-bowl overflow vent tube. Or something like that. It is the tube through which any overflow from the carburetor bowl will vent. Or any overflow from the carburetor float-bowl will vent through that tube...
I could go on like this all day...

Thanks! I love this forum, leave it to everyone here to have already discussed everything in great detail. I did a search but guess I missed it.
