Just a second opinion: We bought our F-100 in 1979. It has manual choke, but NEVER is needed or used. One little 1/2 press on the gas petal and it fires instantly, regardless of temperature. After all of these years, I cannot imagine wanting automatic choke on our 292. $0.02
Oh i never use it either lol, the joy of accelerator squirt pumps. But they exist, I had one on the shelf so thought id chuck it on. Seems nearly 10,000 people who watched video thought it was useful, plus when it gets cold here in the UK at least I wont have to worry about running a choke cable!
Great video! I have a question for you though. I have a 1980 e OD e BSA Carb. Mine has a little nipple that some linkage from the accelerator pump actuates. I notice your carb has that blocked off yet has a vacuum line near it. I am not sure what my nipple does. It can move in and out when the accelerator linkage moves. My issue is that the nipple recently started pouring out fuel and does more so when I press it in. Any more words of wisdom that would help me understand what that part is and why it’s leaking?
Thank you for this detailed explanation of the carburetor Choke, which I followed in my old Nissan Jeep. After installing it, I did not feel any problem in operating the engine except that there is some smoke coming out with the exhaust before the engine warms up. Is this something normal? Greetings to you from Riyadh.
Great video. I have a question. The hot air inlet and the 12V both heat the choke element? Can you explain how those two things work together? Seems like you'd just use one or the other.
No you are right its one or the other. This is 12v, the original used hot air to heat bimetallic strip. In this application you dont need to connect the hot air inlet
I think YOU kinda understand how the choke works, but you sound like you do not know what you are talking about. The thing that interupted my pattern is that you call the thermostat an "electronic" choke. The coil inside is called a thermostatic spring. The thermostat was engineered and manufactured with circuit boards, relays, capacitors, transistors, and other true electronic components. The thing has a spring that reacts to electricity. That is it. No rocket science there. You point out a set screw you call a "pin." They are two different parts. Your accent is a bit difficult to understand as I am American and experience difficulty understand broken/crooked English outside of the U.S. Plus, and sooo irritating you do not speak with enough volume so you can be heard clearly. Not that I am a stickler for detail, but I get pissed when people screw up the details, put echoee videos, insert over bearing music I do not favor (you get one point for not inserting annoying music), and speak softly. The way I learned it is speak softly and carry a big stick, but that has no thing to do with carburetors. Make yourself heard like yourself like you got a pair as my drill sergeant used to say.
The fact you dont understand English and cant fathom that I referred to it as electronic because its a bimetallic strip heated by 12v is a failing of yours not mine old boy.
What a petty, winey comment. I understood him easily. He spoke calmly and clearly and didn't spend the entire time talking into the camera. One of the best videos I have seen on this subject
