You mean these pipes?

Those are the vacuum pipes for the carb balancing. Sounds like there is a 'T' piece in there, only reason that it might have one is for a scottoiler, they use a 'T' piece to take a vacuum off for the valve.

It supposed to be blocked up. Like i said the 'T' piece was probably for a scottoiler and they removed it. So instead of replacing the pipe they plugged it up with a screw.
