How to understand automatic chokes part 3

[@DL24StaS]

Wow, thank you for the explanation. It seems that I've got some sort of the "hybrid" system, with a hot-air choke housing married to a cap with an electric heater element. No one else was able to explain it for what it is. It seems that someone tried to modify a truck carburetor with a hot air choke to make it work in a car that previously had been equipped with an electric choke. Now I know that I the replacement carb I'm looking for should have electric choke. This whole series of videos was of great help !

Just want to say thanks. I have watched numerous videos by other party and I can honestly say; Yours are the best by far. I have a rebuilt carb that I'm setting up on an old pickup and your videos have been a life saver.

I'm glad. Thanks for watching.

Tyler, thank you for this series! What a big help it has been! Thanks for taking the time to help me and I am sure others!

This stuff amazes me. I'm a computer/network guy all my life. Have a 79 F150 straight 6 300. Single bbl carter. Mech that rebuilt her a year ago, put on a new cater and removed the manual choke. She's been doing awesome up until couple weeks ago. Now she idles too high after she warms up. Like she doesn't kick down. Anyways, just trying to learn more. Not that I'm going to fix it but just interesting man. Got here with some search and now I'm just being amazed at 1950s tech.

Hey Tyler, great series. Like DL24, it looks like some one was trying to set up an electric choke on a hot air choke assembly on a Jeep I just bought. . Things is it’s a quadrajet set on an amc 304 that doesnt seem to have a hot air loop set up. So it looks like I need to get a new electric choke assembly. Or is it ok to just let the vacuum pull in a little unnecessary air through the choke? If I plug the choke body inlet will the carb not breathe well? Let me know your thoughts if you can, but regardless, thanks for the great tutorial.

It sounds like you have some other problems besides the choke but let's do a quick run-through adjustment: Cold, it needs to be nearly LIGHTLY closed, not adjusted so it is tightly closed. Make sure the pull-off is good and is pulling the choke a bit when the engine starts. If it's dieseling when you turn the engine off and you have to shut the choke to kill it then you have something else going on. My guess is a vacuum leak, or the idle is too high.

I need to no how to adjust the hot air choke. Whats the distance or play should it have ?

[@APrintmaker]

OK, now that made sense! Before this I could not understand how the electric choke knew what was actually going on with the engine... turns out, it doesn't.

How do you adjust dwell angle on 1983 Oldsmobile 98 regency 5.0L

Hey, I have a 4 barrel quadrajet on my 77 camaro, it used to be a hot air choke now its electric due to the new motor having an intake without the hot air assembly. in order to install the electric choke I had to remove that little vent tube inside the choke body and install an electric choke body that has a bevel going into the place where the little vent tube was, could this be a potential vacuum leak in the future?

[@jcwjjc]

can you enterchange a electric choke to a hot air choke? i have a 1977 chevy k10 but i feel it is and 80's model carb when i bought it 17085226. and i recently changed it out with a 17080213. seems to be running better but i'm not giving up on the 226. i don't feel the electric is better either what do you think i should do?

[@Hacker2013able]

Great video.Good Job.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

You may also have the float adjusted too high, which can dump gas into the intake and make the engine run super-rich.

[@brianskinner4328]

I was wondering if you have worked on a variable venturi carburetor. Those seem like a pain in the ass compared to a quadrijet

[@Texassince1836]

my electric choke on my M4ME 1986 has a temp sending unit that taps into the water jacket of the motor. as the coolant warms up, the temp sensor allows more voltage to pass through it, heating the choke more. so if the motors not warm, the choke wil stay closed all damn day(it would if i ad the choke plate on it )

[@randellmd]

I have a Roch. Quad and can't find the happy medium on my choke (just rebuilt it) when it's cold it won't start because it stays closed; have to pop the hood to hold it open to start. when it gets hot and stays open it won't shut off and chugs until i manually push the vent closed. what do you suggest?

[@billydagenham]

Very informative

[@randellmd]

I got it running pretty well, by doing those suggestions. found one vacuum problem (hose was not connected; so many hoses!!!) idle seems to be set just about right, may be slightly low (not sure) but notice no real problems from that. All good accept the dieseling at shut off. someone suggested timing is off. which i'm sure it is. do you have video to fix timing on 85 chevy silverado?

[@kbrawlz]

I've got that divorced choke on a 1987 reinell 192s boat with an inboard 5.7L equipped with quadrajet And the choke plate isn't opening all the way after warm-up, so, I'm headed to video 4 to learn more

Thank you again
