Choke Question

<< < (3/3)

Cliff Ruggles:
There are really no negatives from using a choke, even for summer only operation.  It provides fast idle, which keeps the driver from having to stay on the throttle till the intake warms up enough so that the engine will idle on it's own.

You'll really LOVE the choke the first time you need to move the car in cool/cold weather, and not having one makes start-ups in sub-zero weather nearly impossible......Cliff

Hello everyone!! new  to the forum!!  I have a Q-jet 7042210 with the divorced choke, would the electric be better than the choke thermostat on the intake?

Shark Racer:
I prefer electric chokes to hot air or divorced, but I believe you'll need a different carb if you wanna go electric. There are some 4MC carbs that can be converted to 4ME, but I don't think you can do that with a 4MV like you have.

 If you are trying to keep the engine stock, the divorced choke is what I would stay with. E/C is better in most cases. Don't know if your carb has the "boss" on it for an E/C though. Please post a photo.
