The above link is a component pictorial so its not exact, but shows two lines not three so the cap is the vent. (mantis tillers have a no vent fuel cap and 3rd line for the tank vent)
Side note: Id like to see picture of a $200+ 2 cycle carburetor.
If your tank had black stuff in bottom check fitting for line going in fuel tank take piece of fuel line look if inside is swelling close and soft ethanol fuel is ******* rubber replace lines don't cost much
sounds like a fuel leak from the tank to the caburetor. Your mower has a fuel pump that pumps the fuel from the tank to the carburetor and when you are running the mower the fuel is leaking out the fuel line onto the grass. Check the fuel lines for cracks or splitting and replace it with fuel line from a lawn mower shop.
John Deere will replace the lines with the original under warranty but as soon as your warranty runs out and you develop a leak go to solid rubber after market fuel lines and your problems will be over.The braided fuel line that is put on at the factory and replaced by Deere under warranty has a poor performance record and i would replace it,Deere can't get warranty for the repair unless the part replaced has a J.D. part number on it,but if you are willing to supply the hose,go rubber and the leaking will end.
