Where does this hose go?

Hey guys i have a hose that i am not sure where it goes. it is quite long and comes from a box just under the windshield washer fluid. it is currently not plugged into anything. i don't know what that box is specifically either. maybe some insight on both. XD

first pic is the hose and it comes from the box on the bottom or the left white box (whichever you want to consider it) in the second picture.

I know what it is but not where it goes. That's the cold start fluid jug. It protects the bracket which holds the charcoal canister once the cold start stuff is removed and the charcoal canister is moved out of the way.

That's the beer jug hose and goes to the cockpit.

Should be a brass nipple sticking out of the carb below and between the OMP lines, above the mix adjust screw.
