    Vacuum lines where do they go

    I will take a look at the back of the carb for a vacuum port that’s open. And look into electric chokes thank you.

    Vacuum lines where do they go

    Might be easier to swap out for a new carb? Ports were capped prior to photo and capped again after. Runs and drives fine but needs a little throttle on cold starts to stay running.
