| | THANKS!
For helping keep this great

on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 127 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 127 | I bought everthing to setup dual carbs on my 235 from Langdon's but the carbs (holley/weber progressive type) have those big ugly water operated chokes. I went to Napa to buy a couple of manual choke conversion kits but the two kinds they had didn't fit right. The cap/cover diameter is either too big or too small. Anyone out there do this conversion in the past and can share their experiences?
I wouldn't mind going electric choke either but I don't know where to start there. Parts places around me haven't been much help with the carbs without a part number or make/model/year type info. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 206 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 206 | Langdon's Stovebolt should have the electric choke kits. I asked him to change them on mine before shipping them, he did so at no extra charge. | | |

Also, you will probably one need a choke on one carb.

I called Tom he said someone told him they used the Napa kit but after looking at it I rather build my own which he has done in the past too. Also you were right he said that choking the one carb is all that is necessary and recommended choking the front one. I will post some pics of what I come up with this weekend.
