Need a Spot

Hi, I have a 1982 Toyota PU.

On my carburetor, the mechanical linkage for the fuel metering plate (The one on the right with the hole in it) is completely missing.

Can anyone give me a description of how it works mechanically?

I know it works partially on vacuum... But where does the mechanical linkage come into play?

And, does the choke unloader diaphragm play a role in it's functionality?

Some of the pics in this thread might be helpful. If it's what I think it is, it's to set your carb in the choke position when it's cold.

Sadly, the BlueBassDesign link no longer works. Poster over there is known as Scerb here.

Hope that's helpful to get you started.
