Weber 38 Dges Choke Adjustment?

Recommended Posts

Looking for some insight into getting my choke working. It worked a long long time ago and isn't working now. I would live to know if there was any information out there on how to adjust so it's working. It's not that it's working and just needs to be adjusted I don't think it's actually working. Thanks!

Water? Electric? DGES is electric.

Have you got 12v at the terminal? When starting from cold are the flaps shut? Do you get a fast idle?

Its electric, yes 12v is running t the card.  I do NOT get the fast idle at start.  I do not think the flaps are shut when cold I'll have to check.

Ok...just checked and found a redline installation guide.  Flaps were open.  I thought all I had to do to activate the choke was to press the gas pedal to the floor before starting...that does nothing.  I can by hand hold the flap open the press the throttle and the flap will now stay open.  When I start it jumps to 3000 rpm then when i tap the gas, it drops instantly.  I thought it stayed on until the electric coil heated up?  It seems like somethings not right.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
