Simplifying the hoses

[NorCal]

2.6 v6 out of a Capri. I’m assuming this is the original style carb and the water in/out is used to control the choke. I live in sunny CA and I’ve lived without chokes on my classics, but I can’t say I’ve ever had a carb that used water flow to check the temperature. Can I simply bypass or will it Run with the choke on?

Looks like the later electric choke housing will swap. This is on a BMW but it looks like a direct swap.

Yea, don't see the choke being an issue. It exhibits the problem when fully warmed up. I'm out in CA and the choke is rarely needed.

I thought you wanted to get rid of the extra hoses?

 

[NorCal]

I do. It is on the list of things to do, but right now I'm trying to get the car to go down the road.

Chop out what is not needed!
I do have the hose barbs for a heater, but decluttering is a must!!!
