2.0 cu solex twin carb auto choke set up help

[davethebus]

As per the title really, been having a few running issues and after replacing a knackered dizzy, setting static timing and adjusting a few things I got it started by manually setting the auto chokes to open and it ran a treat.
I suspect these have never been right as they have been a bit hit and miss in the past.

Any advice on setting them up correctly would be highly appreciated

I will take some photo's tomorrow.

Not much help without pics I know but it wouldn't run without half throttle then I opened the choke a little by loosening the units and turning them slightly. It was never that good at starting when cold but after I did this it struck up straight away.
Just wondering in what position the thermal unit should be positioned.
Had a look at your oops thread and You seem to be using a similar set up to me including the dizzy.

E D I T... Thanks for the picture, I'll set mine similar tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

Set the choke units up by a guide I found on google and all is well again.

It's great to actually be able to drive it again

Hi,
Im planning on setting up my carbs to factory specs, as per Ooops tomorrow. Then attach them and exhaust etc. And possibly get it started depending on how much time i have.

I look forward to the next videos.
Cheers
