Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello all. I just put my webet 32-36 dgev back on my 620 & want to remove the electric choke & switch it to manual choke. Is this possible & is such a conversion sold ? I checked the Weber site & also the Redline site & didnt see anything. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
schicksal Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I was looking for one a while ago and found these on ebay. The seller says they work on all dgv carbs. Linky Quote Link to comment
ryknot Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ok, I gotta ask . . .why? I recently installed a weber on my 620 and upon rebuilding it, the choke mechanism/coil looks basicly like one off of an air cooled v.w. - with that said, ive owned a butt load of vws and ive never thought for a second about removing the elec. choke and installing a manual. They are simple and effective from my experience . .? Just curious - Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 The electric chokes work great. Just need one wire. Just clip to the coil + terminal. Then rotate it so that the choke blade just closes all the way. Weber uses same size choke as Hitachi. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks guys. I ran this same carb a few years back and it could be the wiring in my 620 isnt the best but...it would take s long time to warm up. Ill try to wire it to the + side of the coil & see how that works.

]2eDeYe Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Did you have it wired open before? Should open with 12v+ Could be out of adjustment. You want a 1/4" gap between the butterflies and the top of the carb rim. Make sure to adjust it cold, like first thing in the morning. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 You want a 1/4" gap between the butterflies and the top of the carb rim Not sure what you are referring to, but you want the butterfly to close completely, with no gap between the choke blade and the bore wall. The Weber has a "choke pull off" that will open it a small amount as soon as it starts. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Interesting, I've always run a gap. If I ever run another, which I think I will soon, I'll keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah i had it wired before. I used the same connector that was on the Hitachi elec. choke. Ill test to see if that wire has 12 v. If not ill wire it to the + of the coil & adjust the butterflies. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok issue resolved. Verified 12v @ the wire going to the choke. Then teplaced the connector & a section of wire that were rough. Ty guys for the help/link. Quote Link to comment
