For reasons that would bore most to tears, I need to convert Schwarz (Weber 32/36 DGAV) from a water to electric choke system. In my parts stash, I happen to have a 32/36 DGAV (needs a rebuild) that has the electric system. I've done a preliminary removal of both electric and water choke housings, and it seems like a simple swap (see pix).
1. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it just a bolt on swap, or am I missing something? Are there other adjustments that must be considered when changing to the electric system?
2. And since carbs are not really my strong point, it looks like it must be necessary to pre-tension the bi-metal spring to correctly adjust the initial cold choke setting. So, I could certainly use some guidance on that, or other choke setting wisdom as well.
3. If I'm able to pull this off I've heard two schools of thought on connecting the electric lead...to the coil, or to a switched circuit directly. Comments on this?
Any help very, very much appreciated so I can get this guy over to Brisbane this weekend. Thanks!
