Choke Assembly 1976 1150 Mercury

Hello,
I had a question as I was looking at my engine and noticed that only the top and middle Carb had the choke assembly that covers the front part of the carb when starting the engine (choke button on the control)..
Is it ok that the 3rd (bottom) carb doesn't do the same thing when Choke?
It doesnt have that same cover and assembly attached to it?

Thanks,

That the way they built them one of the many cost cutting measures after Carl left.

OK, I was just making sure before I rebuild the Carbs...

I had a question, how do you know when you need a rebuild kit vs a gasket kit for your Carbs?

Thanks,

There is generally no need for a rebuild kit with all is screws and plugs etc. Maybe 1 out of 100 needs the kit, we usaully use a inlet needle and gasket set

I added a third choke plate to my inline six. It didn't make any real difference in coke starting. I eventually removed it.
