Since my '77 Midget has an automatic choke, and the state of emission control
in the USA after 1967 required more and more "stuff" to "help" cars be less
polluting, I would say that a '78 B also had an automatic choke when it was
imported.
My preference is without question, for a manual choke. Whether yours is a
good or bad thing depends on how it is connected and adjusted. Keep in mind
that anything can be fixed on these cars, and a choke cable falls in the
"easy fix" list.
