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...
