change the bimetalic spring housing off a scrapper if the spring is broken.
or you could buy a manual choke conversion

or just get a weber 32/34, i just did for my 1.2 (soon to be 1.4 hybrid)
its much better, smoother and wants to pull, why didnt vauxhall just stick webers on it in the first place, why shitty pierburg.....

yeah a weber carb would bolt straight onto a 1.3sr anyway.

the pierburg 2e3 aint that bad really

providing you have the adaptor plate that goes between the manifold and the carb.

yeah its just 3 screws holding the housing on , couple of water pipes and an electrical connection to deal with.

u could swap one in less than 10 mins

also known as an automatic choke.

when you change it, do not do it after you have drove the car or run the engine (for a period of time) otherwise you will may have hot coolant p*ss out all over your face...(have done it).... :roll:
