I think the earlier DGAVs had another diaphragm on the bit shown in pic 2. IIRC it was an anti-stall device. Later versions did without it, but the
casting stayed the same, making it look like something should be there.
As Robocog says, does it leak fuel? If not you should be fine.

I not tried it yet to see if it leaks ... It looks like it does nothing but just wanted to confirm this ...
Not sure what the other bit is for though .. the black pipe you can see in photo is the crankcase Breather ... Thanks for help though

I the manifold heated at all, or have any water ways in it?
