Your carb may be different but the principle is the same.
A choke stove attached to the exhaust manifold has a bimetal coil in it. As the coil heats up it opens your choke via the linkage rod.
The choke pull off pot is there to pull the choke plate open enough(on start up) to allow the motor to run.
You can buy most of what you need to fix yours or buy a different choke plate rod with a manual choke linkage or if you really like you can adapt an electric choke to yours.

Maybe give us a couple more pics of yours on the manifold. Your choke stove might still be there.
