Phil, good point about not removing it, I agree fully. If you must, wire it open. The heat riser on my 34 Eight is functional and the engine performs flawlessly; on the 56 Carib I removed it completely and regret it, though I have no hot start problems; next time I do an exhaust system I'll put it back - in the winter (below freezing) it's a little balky for the first 90 seconds or so.
