I was just wondering if anyone owned this motor. I am trying to figure out where the hose goes from the nipple on the bottom of the air silencer? there is a few pictures I would like them to snap if you own one of these motors. There is also a second line coming from the bottom of the crankcase next to the one that goes to the fuel pump that is just attached to nothing as well. Im wondering if this line is the line thats supposed to go into the nipple on the bottom of the air silencer. any help would be great thanks!

I don't won one, but that is the nipple for the drain hose from the silencer. Drained fuel goes into the intake manifold for recycling/burning instead of into the boat where it would be nasty and polluting.
