I got me a YF 2101S carb, but now what to do? #1047382 08/06/2014 4:12 AM

But there is another connection that I don't know what to hook up to it? Or block it off? It seems to be automatic choke. I have been using a YF carb with manual choke. I have a 1956 235 engine in my 48. Thanks. http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af342/scotphotobucket/yf2101S1.jpg http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af342/scotphotobucket/yf2101S2.jpg

"Universal" choke stoves are available.
