My project car has a old weber carburettor, but its missing the auto choke assembly. i haven't fired the engine yet, and im not going to until i know its alright. The Autochoke is long gone, so im hoping theres another way around it. Could the motor run without it? Could i just manually open the choke butterfly? or is it important that it has the autochoke?

I don't really feel like tracking down new parts for a 30 year old carburettor, because I think that the price would be similar to being raped in the ass. Im in a bit of a spot. can anyone help me out here?

the model is a Weber 32/36 DGAV, which appears to be used on old cortinas ect..

I've got about 4 of these carbs in my shed, let me know what bits you need. THey're all off 2L cortina motors, its not difficult to convert manual choke to auto choke; vice versa.

Like I said, let me know what bits your after and ill have a rummage through some old carbs. Or you could buy the couple of Twin Solex 42mm Sidedrafts that I have sitting next to me:P At the moment its got a manifold for a 2L Pinto SOHC (Cortina Motor)

Just read how u said you dont feel like hunting downs parts for a 30 year old carb. On ebay australia there is a store called MLP Carburettors also just so your know carby bits are EASY to get. Just look under your loacal yellow pages and find a Carb Specialist

Manual choke kits are available over the counter at bursons or repco et al. the standard carby on the c210 is a hitachi dah342-56 which had a 32mm primary and a 34mm secondary. anyone know what the biggest carb the standard engine will take? it seems very choked up, not wanting to rev. 34/36? 36/38?

a 38 is the biggest i've had on a standard c210 l24 engine. very thirsty tho ;)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
