Default 2011 sportsman 500 drain tubes

I had one of the small draintubes on my 500 fell off. I can't seem to find were it needs to go. There are three total that hang down but the smallest one fell off. Looks like it would go somewhere by the carb but not sure. Anyone help me out? Thanks

Look under the bottom of the carb,if it doesn't have a small drain tube on the carb bowl ,this is where it goes! One goes to the carb,one to the tank vent and one hose goes to the coolant bottle cap.

thanks i will get a better look in the morning. It has a funny looking round flat circle right after it attaches to whatever it does.

Sounds like the carb drain one way check valve. Allows fuel to drain,but stops water,etc from going back up the tube. OPT
