i ask the question on this site but no one would anser the question. if i can not get the climatic chock to work can i change the climatic choke over to manual?

 

Hi there, As far as I remember, climatic control choke is a general name for different models of carb choke, there are:

Manual
Automatic Hot Air
Automatic Hot Air + Electric

The electric was better for fuel economy and it just need an extra wire, 12 Vdc from the Ignition Switch or Ignition module B+ wire
