I have not worked on a set of your carbs, so anything I say here is going to be pure GUESSWORK.
In general, these are not really all that different from four separate carbs. One of those nipples will likely be to provide vacuum to the petcock. On the four-carbed bikes, that would be #2. The four-carbed bikes had a "T" between 1&2 and 3&4 that had hoses attached. Those were vents for the float bowls. There was no fourth nipple on those carbs.
If your carbs are not on the bike, it will be rather easy to determine which one will provide vacuum to the petcock. Look into the engine side of the carbs. You will see a large-ish port on all of them that is the enrichening ("choke") circuit. One carb will have an extra hole in the same general area. That is the one that provides vacuum to the petcock.
To identify the other ports, maybe spray something through them to see where it goes?

the two that are eqaul in size are vents
the small one is for vacuum
the odd man out is fuel and is the largest iirc
vacuum and fuel are on the right side carbComment
