Default 03 Predator 90... what goes in the left crankcase top hole?

Trying to put this recent purchase for my girl back together right. Many things were bodged and missing.

According to the diagrams, part number 0450707 goes in the hole on the top of the left crankcase cover. But the one that's on the quad is going to the top hole on the air box?

Can't find many pics online of this quad. In this larger image I do see some sort of angled tube in the hole, but no way to see where it goes.

Any help?

EDIT: After looking at these pics and making this post I -think- I a0nswered my own question, but want to make sure! Think this crossover tube goes in that hole, and I'm missing an air intake tube for the top of the airbox.

Air box intake tube looks like this. U shaped tube goes to the clutch cover.

Ok, that's what I figured. Man this thing is messed up! The things people do when they try and fix it themselves...

Thanks for the post!

Oh yes,people can tear into things not knowing what they're doing. If you need guidance,this 5 buck manual can help. Predator,Outlaw,Sportsman were all the same just different plastics.2003 Polaris Outlaw 90 Service Manual PDF Download

Thanks for the link! I've been using the low-res exploded diagrams from parts sites

I'll be sure to buy that, but I'll also keep an eye out for a hardcopy as I just prefer that paper when I'm out working in the shed!

Did you figure it out?
I have all the plastics torn off mine and could go take a look.
I added a picture.
I attempted to remove the plastic cover.
It did not want to cooperate.
I will attempt to get it off tomorrow, if needed.

Thanks for the pic! But that's odd... yours doesn't have the same hole as mine. What year is yours?

2004 model 50s and 90s didn't have the duct like the 2003 models did.

Mine does not seem to have that hole.
Here is what mine looks like.
I do have a filter I need to replace.
I wish you luck!
