Hi there Sion. I fitted a manual choke cable to my mk2 1.6 Cavalier in the late 80s to cure the same issue. It was a wider horizontal lever that filled the top half of that aperture. It even illuminated the tell tale in the cluster via an earthing link lead Found it in a scrap yard car, possibly an Astra mk1…….

Interesting. I think you would need some evidence of the pre-1984 build date, but as I said in the video it's not something I've ever done

Funnily enough I've just left him a comment about trying to get an original choke cable, look so much neater.

Great work! Coincidentally on the same day I filmed a "how to use a manual choke" for dummies and I couldn't help mentioning about how autochokes sounded like a great thing in the 80s but never really worked. My family had a few Maestros that enjoyed overchoking themselves. The manual choke conversion will really ease your stress and give you back control, nothing worse than something you can't control like an autochoke!

Oh what a coincidence! Yes, my auntie who had a mk2 Cavalier estate in the late 80s was telling me how her automatic choke was always causing problems and was never right

Manual choke will make a huge difference, I remember a F reg 1.6 cavalier I had when it was changed to a manual choke made much better to start up and save running issues, this was some years ago, auto choke ok while working. Ahhh those lovely old 8v GM family one engines , superb units and reliable.

Hi Sion a great video as ever the automatic choke issue with the Pierburg carb was a major issue at the time my dad had issues with his astra mk2 with the same and he took it back from new with fuel starvation and also erratic idling etc he also a had issues with starting with his Belmont which also had the same setup I wouldn’t be surprised it’s the auto choke and it’s probably not a bad idea to do the conversion and as you say it will be easier to regulate hopefully a long run will help as well after it being stood a long time a great improvement well done

Great improvement. Maybe it just needs a nice long road trip on the motorway to freshen up 😄

You can’t be that far away from me if your only 25 minutes or so from Biggleswade. Nice work, I wished I had an ultrasonic cleaner to get my carb spotless. Could you not of got a genuine manual choke cable with the wide pull handle?

@MorselsAndMotors 7 ай бұрын
The problem is this kit makes it a sprung choke, so the cable pulls back. It needs to twist to lock it in place, which I assume the standard choke wouldn't (if it's anything like my mk1 Astra).

Yeah the proper choke cable with the wide pull handle looks so much neater, and easier to use as no need to twist to keep it out.
I bought a VAUXHALL CAVALIER mk2!!!
