I am in the process of getting an old girl back on the water. I started to tear her down today to do a real good clean up and replace the internal harness and remove the carbs and fuel system for cleaning and rebuild. I have a manual on the way for this motor. My question is after I removed the started and the coil there was a hose just sitting under the coil not connected to anything. The other end goes out the bottom of the cowl just under the main wiring connector. It almost look like a tel tall for the water pump. The only problem with that is if you look a little further back on the same side you see another hoes that exits the bottow of the cowl which also looks like a tel tale. If you follow the hose it goes around the back of the block and hooks somwhere close to the bottom on the other side. I cant see where it connects but can feel it. Is there 2 tel tale ports on these motors. If so where does the other hook to. HELP!!

FOUND IT !!!!!. Looks like it hooks to the front support bracket and in some sord of drain for unburnt fuel or water.
