haha man thats alot, u have many of the same questions i had lol..
in no particular order, yes thats the lanyard - instead of a clip theres a bucket type rubber that keeps it down when running, this one had me stumped too lol.
that last filter by tank is fuel filter yes, not sure about the one at bottom, i reckon thats the water intake and they put a filter on it to keep sand etc out?
not sure about the ribbed black hoses lying in bilge..
and also not sure about the "should oring go here" - i cant see whats there..
the two lines at carb are both fuel lines - one is the in and the other is the return, i believe the upper is the return, so like many others do install a cheap 2 buck walmart plastic filter right before the inlet. when u remove the carb theres actually an in/out sign iirc.
There will also be a thicker tube connected to the crank case that runs underneath the carb to the carb as well, it uses the crank vacuum to pump the fuel basically.
also - those orange things are where u connect the plugs when u are swinging motor with plugs out for example (incase it got filled with water / or fuel from a needle carb leak) - it grounds them out so u dont accidentally have a spark down there somewhere and boom.
Also - those grey lines are VERY notorious for cracking up - replace those asap. Also go and buy a set of stainless hose clamps from home depot, pack of ten is about 5 bucks - after ripping off those insane factory things u can use human friendly hose clamps.
You will also need 1/4" fuel line. ebay sellers have 20ft packs for 20 bucks.. mine were all replaced by previous owner.
ALso - do buy original mikuni kits! many ppl have had issues with the cheap ones (likeme maybe) - mine is near impossible to start lol, despite carb passing checks. although i might have another issue.. once uve pulled that carb off the ski ull know why - the forward 13mm bolt is kinda tight! not sth ud wannabe doing each week -
