okay...goin strictly from a 10pm, 3 beer,goldam boat mechanic...here goes....seem to remember 3 bleed fittings on this motor....the top an bottom are hooked together [lower main to uppermain] and the middle fitting, on the throttle/shift cable side of crankcase goes to the bottom of the airbox in front of the carbs.....or maybe you have 2 middle fittings, the are T'eed together and run to the air box.....

thats got to be it!!! the top and bottom are hooked together. the middle one is missing the hose. You say it goes to the air box. Is there a hole for it to enter?
