These were twisted together incorrectly. Can some one tell me how to use them properly and is there suppose to be rubber attached?

No rubber - but under them you will use some friction tape (possibly called hockey stick tape in Ohio).

Describing the fitting may be a bit like trying to describe how to tie a shoe. Hopefully someone on the web has an illustrated description or better yet a video.

Up through the inner hole, pull back toward you and down through the outer hole. You would wrap the hockey tape to hold the capillarity tube to the fuel line then put this on top. My pictures are too large to upload but, 4 total should be used. the first on the vertical portion of the fuel line from the pump. Two more on the horizontal portion. The fourth goes near the front carb holding the vacuum line to the fuel line.

Disclaimer...I don't know if this is "correct", but it's what I did and is the only way I could think of to do it.

Wrap it around the lines and through the inner hole. Keep wrapping and putting the end through the inner hole until you get near the end and there is not enough tip left for another full wrap. Then take the tip through the outer hole and bend it back over on itself in the opposite direction to lock it in place.

It might be old timer's electrical tape, but modern electrical tape is just black vinyl. The friction tape is black cloth...no vinyl.

No guarantees of correctness - just some looks at mine. As I recall, I trimmed some length off the straps (and now use the trimmed bit as a dipstick for checking the oil level in the diff).

Yes, friction tape is that cloth semi-sticky tape that probably pre-dated the modern vinyl UL-approved stuff.
