Can someone just confirm which of the coolant hoses attached to the element is the inlet and which is the outlet? When the cars up to temp the hose on the left is hot but the one on the right remains cold. Is there a valve inside this part that's maybe seized or is it more likely to be a blockage? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3kP7Xqi8ZvIWjV0VFhMR3dveUk

When trying to clean it out with a small screwdriver (carefully) it felt like the right hand side was perhaps 'closed' somehow. It didn't feel like there was an opening to allow flow of water but my knowledge is pretty limited so not sure what it's supposed to look like inside.

The pic of your choke mechanism has got me thinking though. I removed mine last year as one of the pivots was siezed after the car sat for so long. I used a photo to make sure it went back together again but I think I'll double check that to make sure the levers are all in the right position.
One thing though....I can't recall how the spindle that the butterfly sits on is removed, does this just tap out? Will also be taking the hoses off tomorrow including the small metal section to give them a proper clean out.

I have the original carburetor from my car in the garage so I’ll have a look later at how the butterfly spindle is removed. I might be wrong but I would think it does tap out after the butterfly has been removed from the spindle.
