hello all,
As I was digging around my engine bay I found, what I think, is a loose carburetor choke heater. It is easy to move by hand and not sealing at either end, see the red arrows. It also appears as the PO had some problem with it because the vacuum hose under it, green arrow, has been "repaired". I thought I read somewhere this was a very dangerous issue that could cause an engine fire and they suggested blocking it off. Is this correct?
I guess my question are is it supposed to be like this and do I need it. I live in Detroit and us my RV down to the 50/60.
thanks in advance
