Choke linkage

Post by hogv8 »

Does anyone have a picture of how to zip tie the choke linkage off so it's inoperable on a 1901 Edelbrock. I know it's simple but I forgot how they did it . Don't need no stinken choke here in Fort Myers Florida.

Thanks , Jack

I guess the best thing to do would be to remove the choke butterfly .

Hi Jack,

I have a Holley 750 which used to have a PITA electronic choke which I removed and with the tank off I took the air filter off and watched where the external linkage sat as I opened the butterfly then zipped it to a nearby protruding screwhead, it's been great since. A couple of good throttle pumps when cold and she fires up a treat. You should be able to do it with the rear of the tank raised up.

Jack, as I recall you have a choke cable on yours.
Just find where it connects to the linkage, disconnect
it and replace with a tie wrap. that should hold your
choke open till the cows come home.

I haven't really looked at it yet but I know it's not rocket science.

Thanks
