Joe, mistook the throttle guard for the choke housing. Still, the rubber hose "fix" looks Mickey Mouse to me. The threads on the flare nut look to be in good. Problem may be in the fitting that screws into the guard housing. If so, these inverted flare fittings are easy to replace. A vacuum leak will cause all kinds of engine running problems because of the leaned out mixture. Good luck.
