its a breather, if you want to remove it you have to block it off on the carb.

it sucks the fumes from the crank case and gearbox housing back through the engine so that it somes out of the exhaust, it ever so slightly decraeses performance but stops the fumes going into the car.

When you disconnect it then it allows the carb to draw in more air than when its is connected so this leans the mixture out too much and hence the car stalls !
If you want to disconnect it then plug the whole in the carb and plumb the breather to a catch tank !
