Default OS FSR Muffler Fitting

I recently purchased several older FSR series OS engines and have noticed they have a brass fitting screwed into the side of the muffler(not the pressure tap nipple) opposite the egine exhaust inlet. This fitting is a hollow tube about .75 inches long that projects into the muffler. Anybody know/remember what this fitting is for ?

It was for priming the engine with some kind of needle. I have never seen the apparatus
used to prime the engines though.

The special apparatus used to be the plastic squeeze bottle we used to fill the tanks before electric pumps came into vogue although I suppose a small syringe could have done the same job. Enya mufflers have a rotating plate on the side to do the same thing. Not that anyone ever uses them.
