Pajero 2.6L 4G54 carburetor auto choke fix extreme high fuel consumption rpm Mitsubishi Montero

Please Read Description for Details!
Hello everyone!
This video did not turn out as i wanted so here is a detailed description.
The car is a Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) L040 with the 4G54 engine.
It has a carburetor with an automatic choke. However this did not work and was always closed!! It is a DIY job...

Symptoms:
Extremely high fuel consumption!
Poor acceleration
Rough idle
Low operating temperature on the dashboard

Problem:
The carburetor uses the coolant to detect (mechanically) the temperature of the engine and if it has warmed up. These coolant lines were totally blocked preventing any coolant circulation.

Solution:
Clean the hose lines AND the inlets on the carburetor.
Mine were totally blocked and i used a pick to break the crud.
Using a chemical solution to clean those lines might help.
I used radiator chemical cleaner for the whole system.

At the time of the recording it was about 6 months after i cleaned the entire coolant system. Nevertheless it was quite dirty as you can see in the video.

I hope this helped someone.
