Electronic choke, PO cut the wires Options

[Chaznaster]

Hi. My son and I are starting to work on a '74 1.8 converted to a single Weber carb setup. The POs tore out most of the wiring and sensors.

A few weeks ago when the weather in MA was warm she started easily. Today it was 40 degrees F and we could not get her started. We had fuel and a spark.

Would it help to get the choke rewired? I would think so ...

I read somewhere about using a + connection off the coil??

Many thanks.

Unfortunately, the single Weber setup is far from being the ideal one. Too bad the F.I. was removed. Chances are that your fuel in condensing in the long intake runners.

You might want to also check if the bellows type thermostat is still properly installed and functioning. Without going into details, it activated flaps in the air cooling network that will allow the engine to warm up before blowing all the cooling air on the cylinder heads and cylinders.

I'm sure others will chime in quickly...
