Manual Choke Conversion

[Guest phil_d]

Can anyone suggest a good source of a manual choke conversion for a 32/36 Weber. I am having issues with the automatic choke, so would rather convert to manual.

 

If anyone has made their own conversion and has photos to share that would be useful, or I can buy a kit.

 

Cheers

 

Phil

Not cheap although does look like special shaped parts are included.

Not unusual to run without the choke. Just lock it open or remove. The DGAV has an accelerator pump jet. Two dabs on the throttle when starting from cold will richen the mixture enough to catch and then nurse the engine on the throttle for a couple of minutes. Cheaper than a manual choke kit!

I possibly have a webber carb going spare that has a manual choke kit fitted. Make me an offer?

[Guest phil_d]

Thanks for the advice, the kit seems expensive so I will try locking it open.

 

-theduck: I guess your carb will be worth more than the conversion kit??

I'll be honest I didn't look at how much the manual choke kit was, would be looking similar money but obviously it's heavier so postage would be more.

When I was testing the auto choke on the carburettor of the RV I found a crack in the casting which was letting water out in a big way .

So after a bit of fabricating i made up a manual choke set up using some of the parts from the auto choke.

The set up is working well on the bench but will pass judgement when the engine is up and running .
