I actually just rebuilt mine tonight too, and although it doesn't start for some reason I think that may plug into the front of the carb.

I Know what that one is !!

That plug is the Barometric Pressure Sensor plug. The Baro Sensor is located ON the upper ' lip ' of the firewall to the left of the carb (when standing in front of the engine.)
