  This is on my 50! It looks like some sort of water injection or something!
Can someone shed some light on this!
It attaches at the bottom of the carburetor below the throttle plate.

  Looks similar to a Marvel Mystery Oil injector for lubrication of the valve stems and upper cylinder lubrication....

  Thanks MG for replying! It looks like it has just oil in it. Is Marvel Mystery oil what is supposed to be used in it? Because I think I remember that being a red color. Or should I just remove it!

  Marvel Mystery Oil is the upper cylinder lubrication of choice these days. Were it me, I'd keep it and use it with MMO....

  Thanks jules51, I've done some more reading on this, it is very interesting. I think I will be keeping on the car.
