There is a 1" brass nipple that sticks out of the center of the front of the powerhead that is dripping fuel. Can anybody educate me on this. I looked in my SELOC Johnson/Evinrude 1990-01 Repair Manual and found nothing pertaining.

Is it on the intake manifold? Top middle bottom?
Try looking on parts page and see if you can find it there.

It looks like there should be a hose on it but there isn't. Running VRO

Should be a hose going from it to a nipple near bottom of airbox.-----Why would you do a VRO swap and primer solenoid rebuild?

The VRO was leaking from the top and the primer solenoid top was cracked.
