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?

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
