nismo dr Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Weber 32/36 dgav two barrel carb with automatic choke (coolant type) and adapter for stock air cleaner attached to air horn (that can be removed). The unit was recently rebuilt by an ASE certified tech, but it has an issue with the bushings on the primary throttle shaft. The idle will vary dependent upon how the throttle returns to the stop plate after opening/closing. It could be rebushed (there are parts available) or you could use for parts which are all there (some new) and expensive to buy individually. How much do youse guys think its worth?

datzenmike Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Probably less than less than $100. No one likes the water choke and the throttle shaft is worn which is a cause of the throttle plate not seating reliably when returned to idle. A worn shaft can also be a source of a vacuum leak at idle too. This would be worth much more with a throttle bearing kit installed: Perhaps a cleanup and general rebuild and a manual or electric choke conversion. Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I got it for $44 shipped off fleabay. I was going to rebuild the hitachi but thot what the hell if i'm rebuilding i might as well go weber. missed a good working on on CL last night by bout 20 min Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 how difficult would it be to convert it to electric choke? does it have the manifold adapter? if it doesnt cost much ill take it off your hands for how much you paid post pics Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) thx for offer but I do need it for my truck, I was just wondering if I got a good deal. I'm a ase master tech but a total rookie to carbs and drums and all this stuff (i think its called metal) thats holding everything together well, I do modern drums all the time but these seem like a different animal. used to obd II cars Edited July 19, 2009 by nismo dr Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I am pretty sure that i have the needed parts to change that from water choke to electric choke if you are interested. $44 doesnt seem like a bad deal to me, even if it does need throttle bushings. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 That adaptor lets you use a factory aircleaner? Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 it was on a bmw2002 i think Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 hows the water choke work? open cold, closed hot some sort of wax element? Am I close? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Very similar to the electric one just uses hot engine water. Inside the choke is a bi-metallic metal coil that un-winds as it is heated and re-winds again when cooled. It, in turn, is connected by a linkage to the choke plate. The choke plate is pulled closed by the contracting spring and as the motor warms up the spring un-winds and pulls the choke off. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 you caN BUY A CHEEZY 8 $ CHOKE ADAPTER KIT FROM sCHUCKS. dONT USE THE WATER SET UP!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Shonuff Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 buy the electric choke and slap it on. uses the same linkage and mounting, just less leaky. $20 you can also get the bushings and throttle shaft here, if the parts you need arnt listed call em, they have it in stock. http://www.carburetion.com/Weber/weberpartsjetkits.asp Quote Link to comment
