The "vacuum" line is only to allow a failed regulator to vent gasoline back into the breather hose instead of leaking externally, possibly causing a fire. It may have no impact on cold starting but should be replaced regardless. Also check to see if it has contaminated the oil with fuel. Sniff the dipstick, if you can smell any hint of gasoline change the oil.

spartan, replace the FPR as soon as possible … before the existing one causes engine damage.
