Re: First Water Choke

Another question gents;
The vacumm line (#4 in Franks’s diagram) was chewed as mentioned in first post, where it looped way up near the starter bracket. The line then drops back down to a nipple in the intake manifold close to the carb boss.
I’m curious as to why the line took such a circuitous route? looks almost like an anti-syphon device, but for what? Shouldn’t be any fluids in there anyway.
Any ideas???

I cut out about 3" and the hose led comfortably (no kinking) to the nipple more directly without the upward detour, as an experiment.
