oil in flex hose next to amm 200 1990

I second that!!

Clean or replace all the hoses associated with the flame trap and the throttle body then check your oil trap to see if it is clogged - probably not...

Don't overlook the small hose that goes from the flame trap to the intake manifold. If hard, replace it. Cheap, about .50. Also remove and clean the brass nipple that hose goes into. These are two common spots for a clog to develop. The small hose was the culprit in my case. Seemed to be fine the first time I checked it. Upon second inspection, I discovered to be hard and clogged. Cheap replacement. No flame trap problems since....

Then, as mentioned by guYom, you can then just remove and clean the bellows hose. Check for cracks too. I’ve had to do this a couple of times myself.
