mcbrat Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 on the ea81, there are 2 small hoses that connect to the intake manifold. first off of the heater hose pipe, there is a small one that connectes to the base of the carb mount. second is one that connects from the intake manifold, just on the front side of the t-stat housing (the cold side) down to the little pipe that sticks out of the passenger side top of the block. currently I have the weber water choke plumbed in line with the second hose listed above.... so I guess I need to know which way the coolant flows through that second hose...? (without unhooking a side to see :cool: ) I already know the first hose flow direction... but it was easier to plumb into the second one initially....

mcbrat Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 I do have another weber with a manual choke, but I just rebuilt this one, and it seems to work fine.... I just want to make sure it's plumbed in the best spot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 whats wrong with water chokes? seems to be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 problems with water chokes - take WAYYYYY too long to open get stuck easily run rich for above reasons if they break they can flood your engine - literally sometimes never do and cause really crappy power loss you have so much more control with a manual choke I am probably biased because I overhauled an MG Midget with one and had to install a manual choke to get it to pass emissions, and before we did we had problems in all the afforementioned catagories save the choke blowing up (though I saw a junked car where that happened) Graned it was not a Weber carb, but the principle has issues. However you plumb it, make sure that water is flowing at all times, and that it is not governed by the thermostat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
