It's reasonably clear in the manual: the flow is from the left hand side of the thermostat to the left carb, through the carbs and then to the spigot on the radiator. (Hoses 19 and 21 on AJ Sutton's site.)

Before you put everything back together, check all the elbow are clear as it's these that block causing the system to fail and icing.
