I saw the same thing when I played digifant recently. It looks like a little "blow-out" valve or reed valve. Looking inside my unit, there does not appear to be any sort of "Baro" sensor - let alone any sort of sensor located near the port in the brain box. I think this is a vent of some sort... Which opens the question up to Barometric Sensing. Lots of FI systems have a baro sensor, or something to tell the FI what the air density is (hot wire systems just look at the wire...) What about digifant II? Does anyone have a clue regarding the listee discussing a "port" on the side of the idle stabilizer? (He reported cleaning out the port and improving some idle related problem...). I had my stabilizer out last week, and the case is solid. No vents, and I looked from the inside and the outside...
