The manual choke carbs are a lot tougher to find than the auto choke carbs. I believe this to be because of those using dual and triple carbs want the manual choke versions.

If you don't mind an automatic choke (I don't personally like them myself); it is relatively easy to install an automatic choke carb replacing a manual choke. The only issue is the heat for the choke. That may be provided as follows:

1) acquire a piece of roughly 18 gauge sheet metal 6 inches by 3 inches

2) cut a 1/2 inch square from each corner

3) bend the 4 sides, making a rectangular "cup" of depth 1/2 inch

4) drill a hole in the center of the cup and install a brass fitting

5) install the cup on the exhaust manifold with the open end toward the manifold

6) bend a piece of tubing to attach to the brass fitting and the carburetor choke
