W123 carburetter question.

[samuelsmiles]

Hello, a winter/wet weather problem with my 2.0 litre W123. I've been looking at the carburetter and have seen this cable/plug disconnected. A previous owner has done this purposefully because when I reconnected it the car runs terribly - can someone tell me what the function of this is.

Best, Chris.

petrol cut off valve? Stop engine running on when ignition swiched off.
