IneedHelp Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ive got a 1980 Datsun 510 Wagon. I bought a Weber 32/36 DGEV and i am having trouble with the electric choke hooking up with the 3 pronged male connector that is on the original Hitachi. How do i go about this? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 can you make a adapter to the Weber from the car wiring Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The Weber electric choke simply requires a wire that goes "hot" (powers up), once the ignition is turned on. Just locate a "hot" terminal on the fusebox and run a wire, OR test that 3-prong plug to see if one of the wires goes "hot" with the ignition. Basically, the Weber choke is always "on" when cold, then when you turn on the ignition/start the car, it slowly heats up the "heat mass spring" inside the choke. As this spring heats up, it pulls the choke off. As long as the spring is hot, it holds the choke off. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment
