Weber Carb Automatic Choke Question

Post by BT124 »

I have a Weber 32/36 DFEV Carburetor that a previous owner upgraded my 1979 Spider to. I don't think my automatic choke is working. I have 12 volts at the choke electrical lead when I turn on the ignition, but it doesn't "click" (I'm not sure if it's suppose to click).

What's a good way to test this choke? I was thinking of heating the choke with my heat gun or taking it off and submersing in hot or cold water. Other good ideas?

Also, if I need to buy a new choke for this carb does anyone know a good place to buy just the choke component?
Thanks

with the motor cold put a small bag of crushed ice on the top of the choke
about three min give it a little gas with your hand
it should close the butterfly if it wasnt closed already
if it is closed when cold start it and about three min give it a bit of gas and it should open the butterfly
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

it won't click. Does the choke close, but not open? I have replacement choke covers if needed
