That is a drain tube that goes from the air box into the crank case. It's for when you tilt the motor and fuel drips out of the carbs, it's funneled from the air box into the crankcase. The nipple it fits on is under the carbs. Since it's off you probably have a bit of a mess under the carbs.

Take the old one in and have them match it, if you don't have it then I think it should be 1/4" inside diameter.
