Hate to add a carb question,a nd what goes here?

When I bought my bike it didnt have a breather box. I got it running and it idles great but hit the gas and it bogs down. I have heard that PODS are not the way to go, so anyone have any ideas of what to do. And what is supposed to go on this nipple?

That should be vacuum, for the auto petcock. You can plug it. Are, you wanting a stock airbox? I have an extra one.

That nipple is for the SOS, or auto fueler valve, as TOOLS said. it's a vacuum leak if not plugged. You can get plugs from Autozone.

I personally wouldn't run the valve. I removed it from mine. Runs just fine without it.

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
