3 screws undo on the side of the choke and you can move it to allow for more choke in the Winter and less in the Summer but this probablisnt your problem but handy to know.

Re: Pierberg 2e3 settings
The choke’s not coming off ?
You can move the auto choke to the Summer setting to make it come off sooner or maybe the spring is damaged .
Is the choke pull down unit ok?

Re: Length of battery positive cable?
When I did mine iirc I did a search and about 2.5-3 m so I’d get a 3 m length.

Re: Non starter after a couple of years not used
Take the top off the carb and tip a drop of petrol down it or spray some carb cleaner in it and turn it over. If it fires up temporarily you can go from there. It will take a bit for fuel to get delivered and there’s the likelihood that things may be gummed up after standing. David. It's a DJ, righ...

Re: Replacing Coolant Pipes.
Enjoy yourself… definitely need to wear some safety glasses when doing this job. I remember getting caked in crap and getting a neck full of old coolant for good measure.

Just suck on it and see if it holds a vacuum.

Re: Coolant Pipe Leak
I would bite the bullet and replace with new stainless. I did mine on the drive with the van on its wheels. I managed to do it without fully dropping the tank, I just dropped one end and reached underneath to undo the clips/ cable ties etc. I won’t lie , it wasn’t the most pleasurable job I’ve done ...

Re: Tow rope
I got dragged back home from Macclesfield Forest on the only occasion I’ve been recovered and it did the job ok, although I was a nervous wreck by the time we got home and my brakes were a bit warm after the tower got a bit carried away with his heavy right foot.

Re: Broke down again
Stick a longer pipe onto the choke pull down unit and suck on it. If it holds your tongue it’s ok.

Re: Broke down again
The stalling could be an air leak at the inlet manifold maybe (gasket). Start it up and as it idles/tries to get someone to carefully spray some carb’ cleaner around the inlet manifold and see if the revs pick up.
Have the coil/ ignition amp ever been changed, ht leads etc tested?
