I had the carbs off putting kits in them and noticed a nipple at the bottom of the intake manifold, from what I can see this should have a hose connecting it to the airbox. Is this just a breather or is there vacuum on this line. I'm chasing some issues not reaching rpms at WOT and want to make sure this isn't a contributing factor.

It goes to a fitting on the bottom of the air box to get rid of any spit back oil in the air box and goes through the mtr. Shouldn't have anything to do with your mtr prob.
