carb choke??

KKV270 · Post by **KKV270** » Tue May 12, 2015 6:50 am

Hi.
Someone please clarify something about the choke.....should it be open before turning on ignition or shut? I have operated a carb that has a disfunctional choke thus open 24/7. Now I have a carb from some junkyard & want a go at it.
Thanks.

Does anybody still offer the 6 volt automatic choke? Or, does a choke know voltage?

When the engine cools down the choke should close. However the throttle lever will not rest on the part of the idle cam that causes the fast idle until the gas pedal is depressed.

Yes, the choke does know voltage. Maybe try TheSamba.com
