Thanks all, for your help. Mainly I wanted to be sure that capped connection should be capped. Now off to go for a cruise in the Moke!

TurboDave calls me every now and then. Top guy and a friend when you need one. There are a lot of people I call or text now for that very reason. A picture of said carb may help. I have quite a collection of SU and Weber carbs. Working on a twin HIF 38 set up for our 1400. I have a couple of then MGB sets which are set up for twins. Steve (CTR)

Could be a Turbo carb as they have a pressurised float chamber.
It's a shame that TurboDave got driven off by the authorised ramblings of the forum troll, or he would have been able to answer definitively.

Throat size is different. HIF38 is 1.5”, HIF44 is 1 3/4”

The engine is a 1098 in a '73 Aussi Moke. How do you tell an HIF 38 from a HIF 44?

Yes, I've been here for 17 years, always as "Jayhawk", not plural 'Jayhawks'. The avatar is a picture of a (Young! Rich!, Handsome!) me in 1972 with my shiny new Authi 1275GT at the flying club at Naval Station Rota, Spain.

That "plugged" (typically) hole is from drilling a cross-passage over to the float valve area inside. A brass nipple there suggests that your carb might have been made for a fuel system with a return line to the fuel tank, something a Moke would not need.

My recently acquired Moke has an HIF carb with an extra connection - but it's capped off. I am trying to figure out what it is for. See the picture of the HIF connections here: //www.minimania.com/SU_CARBS___Connection__HIF_type.
Look just to the right of the fuel line connection (1) and directly below the float chamber overflow (2) - there is a circular 'feature' that looks like a plugged port. On my carb, there is a short brass tube coming out of that, but it is capped off with a rubber cap.
Anyone know what that connection might be? From the looks of the carb casting, I am thinking it is an extra overflow port, but. . .
