I have a water connection that Y's from the outboard tattle tale, the hose is 1/2" and ends with what looks like a check valve. What is this for? Do I need it, and where is the barbed connection supposed to go? Thanks in advance.

Re: 88 johnson 120

I think you're talking about the aspirator. It's supposed to suck out any water that might get in the the pan. I didn't think they came out until the 89 models but maybe they did come on the 88 models. (Or maybe you got a newer motor that you think)

That check valve is supposed to be in a large piece of hose with an uneven cut on the bottom. It just sits in the low part of the pan.

That's got to be it, it looks like what you just described. Thanks for the help.
