Beekeeper's right,the hose off the plastic tee is the bowl vent and should be open. If you're worried about crud, cover it with a bit of pantyhose mesh.

The nipple plugged with the cap screw is for the SOS, leave it.

The fast idle tang on the choke linkage may also be a problem as Beekeeper has pointed out. Any slop at all will cause the idle to be low when the choke is engaged. Easy to compensate for by adjusting the idle, but when it warms up and the choke is disengaged, the idle is too high.

With the engine fully warm and idling at the 3K, adjust the idle down to 1K and shut the engine off, pull the fuel tank and adjust the fast idle tang so there is no play. Its a bitch to get at with the carbs on the bike, but I use a dental pick to check the play and a right angle screwdriver to adjust. There's a good picture in the carb rebuild manual somewhere on this site.
