I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is missing from my carbs on my 03 RX1? I took them off for the first time and im putting them back on and I dont feel comfortable because it looks like im misssing a hose, possibly coolant?? In the pics I have the one hose that connects to the left angled little down pipe but the other one didnt have a hose when I took them off.
Something just doesnt look right to me and if it is missing on the right side,brake side, where would it go? thanks as always

I will put some more on,i just have one hose coming up from the bottom of the motor but it looks like the carbs have 3 places to hook up to and they werent any when i took them off
 
On the carb rack is these two outlets (pic) when i took the carb rack off there wasnt any lines to these,the coolant line came up from the bottom and went into the middle tube facing the engine, are these supposed to vent or be attached to hoses that ai dont have?

I have realized what was missing and figured it out, the little rubber coolant connector houses laying in the bottom of the pan! Good times!
 
Just to make sure you have a high degree of confidence, attached is a exploded view of what you are working on.
