Hi! Yes that pipe is some sort of vent or drain. may be to do with that venting solenoid just above it? I'll post up pics of all angles of the carb and you will see.
That other solenoid on the side which cuts the fuel......I don't know the detail of how it works, but I can tell you if it looses power while you are driving the engine stops immediately!!!
Anyway hope the pics help.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, oh my, those pictures are so helpful, thanks so much, shows throttle & choke etc, perfect!
Have you got the heater ports linked? assuming the 2 ports by the thermostat are the heater connections?
I notice the fuel separator on the bulkhead, I didn't know they existed.. somthing else to buy - although I'm not sure it's really needed

You need that black swirl pot, the carb don’t run right without.
Yes I'm restoring the heater box and bulkhead under the heater, so the by pass enables me to still use the car!
Yes Hicap is correct you need the black pot. Its got a weir type thing in it to create a head of fuel from the fuel pump. The overflow from the weir goes back to the fuel tank (a return). I think this is because the fuel pump can be on when the engine is not running and even when it is it might not need all the fuel being pumped......if that makes sense ;-)

Hi All,
OK, so engine is in and running fine after some issues - condenser failing, distributer clamp loose etc etc, but generally very good super smooth & quiet.
One question though, is the idle adjustment using the screw below? seems to be the only adjustment I could find.
I did a web search but couldn't find any diagrams with this info.
Thanks
Andrew

See photos should be all the info you need. I’m not an expert at adjusting carbs!!
