Putting Tank Back Together,Quick Question,...

[mznyc]

Does this hose have a clamp? It connects to the nozzle at the bottom. I didn't see it in my parts and couldn't find it on the parts diagram or manuals.

no, mine did not anyway

Ditto for me.

No clamp, just push it firmly and all the way on that stub/tube.
I'd also install a new gasket for the "bulkhead" plate, with a thin film of silicone grease applied.
And the blank steel-lip of the tank opening, I preserved with a slight spray of ACF-50 (mine showed slight traces of surface rust, seems I'm out more in bad weather ;-) )

My experience with fuel tank disassembly and reassembly has been that if a hose has had a clamp on it, evidence of the impression left by the clamp will be visible on the end of the hose if you shine a bright light on it.

For example, the photo below shows the three hoses that fit into the bottom of the upper tank assembly. The hose on the left needs a clamp... the other two don't.

Hoses that fit to the underside of the primary fuel tank

No clamp. I think that is the pump bypass for when the carb aren't needing fuel. It doesn't matter if it leaks.
