Morning Bob,
So the collected fumes in the charcoal canister are fed back into the system via the hose to the head cover. It appears there is no collection ports from the fuel bowls on the carburetors. So that would explain their being no hose from them to the canister. That leaves why the PO felt an additional restrictor was necessary, or desirable, in the oil separator to carburetors hose. It was my understanding that as you say "The input fittings within the carbs are in themselves graduated orifices." Think I will take the additional restrictor he inserted out and see how it runs. Seems to me if you restrict too much you build up crankcase pressure. It looks like this car never had the additional solenoid switch on it. I suppose I should be happy it is running as well as it is.
Inquiring minds want to know. Curiosity keeps you alive.
