HI Justin -

There must be a vaccuum line that works similar to a EGR valve. Without looking at your engine, it is difficult for me to picture, but I can tell you to look for something connected to your exhaust system through a vaccuum line that deactivates once the engine is at operating temp. EGR works the same way, to inject exhaust gas into the carburetor to pre heat it so it burns easier.

I will do more research on my end.

Let me know how it gopes with your search -

Thanks
