 |
|
So I have a carburetor with manual choke (Weber Progressive Carb) and I was wondering if it was possible to put electric choke on it so that on cold days I don't have to go back there and mess with it.
I don't think that this is the exact carb, but it is close.
Weber 32/36 Carburetor Kit With Manual Choke 20R/22R
Could anyone help me figure out how to hook up electric choke or whether it is possible?
Thanks,
~K-VW |

Have you thought about running a choke cable to it?
The Dellorto DHLA on my supercharged engine had a manual choke, I just ran a 16foot choke cable through the rear quarter cavity and mounted on the tunnel near the handbrake, worked well.

See, I already have choke cable, but I want to convert it to electric so that it does everything automatically (I don't think my choke cable works properly though  ). I just don't want to have to mess around with anything, just start it up. Could anyone tell me how to convert it to electric so I don't have to have the cable anymore.
Thanks! |

I don't know if they make an automatic choke for this carb, but personally, I'd rather have the manual choke. Maybe I'm just a control freak

| Well, this is my first vw beetle (1975) and I would rather have my choke do it all auto. I know that they sell kits but I don't know whether it would work with my bug (generic kits). I also don't know how and where to hook it up. |

Sorry, I don't know anything about Weber carbs. I have the original 30 pict 3. Someone w/ Weber knowledge will have to chime in for you.
