Scrub the carbs for the snow thrower engines had both a choke and a primer. To the OP I would say they are probably a press in type connector but not 100% sure, that fitting could also be the breather for float bowl. Can't plug it off if so.
Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure it is for priming. I am trying to put this on a generator instead of a snowblower. I was thinking about plugging it or taking it out and put a set screw in it. I have had the generator since it was new about 20 years and have never liked how it runs because of the non adjustable carb. Just looking at alternatives.
Are you sure that the engine will fit the generator? Most generators have an external threaded crankshaft and snowblowers use a key way or tapped crankshaft.

You can test it to find out if it also is a breather.
If this is where a 3/32" tube connects, I had a few of them - blowers and Ariens mower. All of mine they act as breather also.
I think car parts store has a cap you could put on it but if it is like mine, you would need to leave it open for the float to work properly.
