Does anyone know what this hose is (red arrow pointing to it) and where it goes to? It comes from the top of the lower part of the motor (by the red line) and is plugged. I bought the motor from a man and it was this way.

Also, can someone confirm that the rectangular ports with the grate caps over it is the pick up for the water pump (outlined in green). I noticed some other holes in the area and want to make sure I am putting my earmuffs in the right spot when I run this thing in the driveway.

well, it appears the capped off hose is the speedo hose from when it was originally installed.

at least that is my best guess.
