Hi Patrick,
The tube is a crankcase breather tube, which carries oil vapour and piston
blowby vapour and gases from the crankcase back into the inlet air, so it
can be burned off. This is a crude emissions control device, but also keeps
the engine clean by preventing oil vapour from spewing all over it.
Best regards, Jeff Dayman
