as i recall that fitting was to vent and drain old oil and combusted acids from the crank case - common in 4 strokes.....put a piece of tubing on it long enough to stick out from under the cowl. After a days flying, you can use that tubing to put after run oil into the crank case to prevent corrosion...run the engine dry, then squirt aro into the tubing

Now that's as I recall. Others may well have other opinions and suggestions - feel free to jump in..

First thing is to remove the valve cover's and give her a spin by hand to make sure the pushrods and valves are moving. If you've got low compression on a 4 stroke that's been sitting a little while 99 % of the time it's a stuck valve.
