Darrell, I would correct the water flow issue before tearing into the chokes.
They might just be fine. The water (OK water/ethylene glycol mix) flows out
of a port under the left carb through the chokes in turn and finally tees
into the line to the reservoir. If you pull the line from the tee you can see
if
you have any flow (do this with the car cold and catch the coolant in a can
and plug the tee). If you get no flow work your way back until you do. If you
get nothing out of the supply port you may need a pipe cleaner.
Have Bob P start and stop the car for you between tests.
Cheers
