Changing from a Pierburg 1b1 to a Pierburg 2e3

[bad_boy_nova]

Ive got a 1.2 mk2 nova with a Pierburg 1b1 carb on it. Ive got a Pierburg 2e3 carb and its manifold in my garage. I want to put the 2e3 carb and its manifold on my nova. The thing is, the 2e3 carb has got an automatic choke and the 1b1 carb has got a manual choke. I want to keep the manual choke. How will i do this? Is it possible? Cheers

i am also very interested in knowing this answer. I might run my 1.2 on a 2e3 for a bit si i can save up and buy the weber 32/34.

I heard that automatic chokes are quite problematic. and arn't as good as the manual.

keep em setup right and they are fine
ive had mine running sweet for 70000+miles

yeah you can buy a kit to convert it to manual choke about ?20 iirc

where can you buy these kits?

i should think your local motor shop should have them, mine does but wants ?34 for the pierburg kit. halfords *might* have them.

[Snowface]

can you get them online anywhere?
where did u ask for the ?34 one snappy?

[snapper]

don't know if you can get them online anywhere, but the motorshop up the road from me (Ely Motors or somesuch) wanted ?34 for the pierburg kit. you could ask at a motor factors.

i found a place online but they want ?49 +vat and delivery.
that includes choke cable, conversion mechanism and instructions.

Guess its the only way though. I'll have a look round local places but i don't really know where or what type of garage to ask at.
