I have a question on the Stromberg Carburetor automatic choke and the line that connects to it. Does the opposite end of that line connect to anything? My line does not have a fitting/connection on the opposite end. It's also a homemade line and ends at the front of the engine near the water pump. I don't know if that is correct or not.

Thanks

Hi John
The tube should run to the exhaust manifold. That is were the heat comes from to operate the choke.
Thanks Wayne

Thanks so much. My exhaust manifold didn't have the metal piece on the side. Fortunately I recently purchased one that has it.
