1987 85hp force vacuum line

[92eglide]

I bought this engine and it was missing some parts here and there but all three cylinders have great compression and good spark so I am trying to put it all together. There is what looks to be a vacuum port that comes out of the bottom of the reed box, does anyone know where it goes to or anyone have any pictures that i could use as a reference? Thanks

I have a 1969 Chrysler 70 hp and have something similar to what you are talking about. There is a rubber line (fuel line type) that runs from that fitting on the bottom of the intake/reed box and goes to the bottom of the airbox/carb cover. Believe it is part of the puddle drain system that transfers unburnt fuel/oil in the cylinders back to the carbs to be burned. Maybe you could post a picture? Good luck...
