38 DGAS removing choke altogether?

[Erich Stahler]

Wondered if anyone has completely removed the thermal auto choke gubbins and the choke butterflies from a 38 DGAS Weber on an Essex v

You can buy a kit to convert the choke to manuel.
I have bought a kit for mine but the auto choke seems to be working correctly at the moment.
So i'll do it later.

I have the kit but not fitted yet. However the auto choke should work well if its set up correctly and unit rotated so it goes off when it should.

Hi Eric

I have done this on a weber 32/36 dgav on a ford pinto.

There are quite detailed notes and pictures on this in David Visard pinto tuning book.

I was running a K & N and found most days it would start OK but on really cold days it needed a choke flap. I got round this by removing the 2 nuts on the K & N removing the filter gauze and put the K & N lid on the weber forming a choke ...

Start car and reassemble K & N.

Quite a faf really.
