Pierburg 2B3 Carb, dodgy wiring

I appear to be missing the Thermoswitch section of my cooling system. Instead, my Carb appears to have the hedgehog connected to a random powerfeed and the autochoke heating element is connected to the distributor, so I guess it's getting a constant voltage regardless of the engine temperature.
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this, or find a better circuit to wire them up to? Can't be doing my fuel economy any good with the preheaters in the carb being powered up all the time I'm driving!

This is pretty much all I have under the bonnet. One cable from the carb body heater, that runs to the aircut off solenoid + then to a 12v feed.
The carbs auto choke wire is currently running straight to a positive terminal on the coil.
The inlet manifold heater runs to a red wire that disappears into the bulkhead somewhere.
Anyone know?
