If it was me I would avoid adding any unneeded flex hose. A hard line is always a more reliable way to go and is probably not where your problem is. As stated in the last post the seal is a O ring gasket type thing to the carb body. The fitting I was trying to describe has longer threads on it so that it can keep the proper pressure on that gasket. Must be a common problem as the parts store had that part on the shelf. I'm thinking its the same part for lots of other carbs as well.
