I replaced the old 2100 with a new 2150 carburetor.The old carb.uses the exhaust heat via a metal tube that connects to the choke assembly.
The new carb. has 2 options.It has the connection for the metal tube that comes off the exhaust or i can go electric. I decided to use the electric portion for the choke.The engine runs great and the choke is working good. Now,the question? If I remove the metal tube completely from the exhaust pipe,what is the best way to plug that hole with? I don't want that metal tube sticking out from the exhaust.Thanks for your help and suggestions.
