I had to do away with the perfectly working mechanical choke on my Q-Jet when I switched to this ZZ4 motor so I replaced it with an electric one that's never worked worth a darn. I think the housing with the bi-metalic spring I have is made by Edlebrock, it has the number 3182A on the outside.
I've set it up properly but it only wants to open about 1/2 way no matter how long the engine runs. I'm getting 12volts to the unit ok, I wired it to the wiper motor feed and the mechanical linkage appears to be functioning properly, just seems like the bi-metalic spring inside isn't traveling far enough to complete the job.
Is there anything out there that WORKS RELIABLY that someone could recommend?
Thanks
