Are the charcoal canisters essential for operation? What would be potential consequences (if any) of running a B without the canister? Any precautions?

@acousticpunker according to my reading on it, no not essential. But there are vacuum lines that must be attended to. However, when I fixed mine the hard start when hot problem went away.

This was the first repair I did on my '78 B (with help from John's previous canister video). One of the canisters had a broken nipple so I sealed it up and switched it with the other one. And did not have to buy a new canister!
