Filtered line should come out the hole furthest back on the field tank. That goes to the barn on the right hand side (as looked at from the rear). Purge attaches to the Barb on the left side of the carb, it should put suction on this line (if you press the bulb in, sealing one of the connections should prevent it popping back out... This is the one you connect to the carb). The other side of the purge returns fuel to the tank via the line into the further forward hole

Depending on what the issue is, quite often you can get away with just cleaning & re-assembling.
Obviously if the gaskets break they have to be replaced, & diaphragms need replacing if they're stretched/ stiff/ damaged/ deformed. Metering valve needs replacing if it leaks which will be revealed by pressure testing the inlet.
If it's just full of crud, giving all the passages & screen a good clean (don't hammer it with compressed air) may be all that's required
