No probs blocking it off. The set-up is the same as on an MG Metro. Mokesta has it. You just block the big port. It is supposed to have a big banjo fitting. The second photo shows 1/2 of that fitting.

If you use this set-up you really should use the black insulating spacer shown in the second pic. Stops the carb getting too hot and making hot starting a ning nong.

And, there's supposed to be a plate in there too. It shields the float bowl from the exhaust and supports the throttle cable. [edit: the carb isnt the HIF44 that the MG metros had so I dunno if the heat shield and cable plate is really supposed to be there.]

tap and a brass plug would have it plugged in about 5 mins... unless its already threaded, then just a brass plug... 2 mins :)
