    1990 Johnson 88 - Where does this nipple get connected?

    Can someone tell me where this nipple gets connected to? It is part number 325659 and is item number 6 in the parts diagram attached. It's not one of the 4 check valves, it's another larger nipple on the bottom side of the intake manifold below the lower carb.
