That automatic choke thingy

[KRB64]

Not sure what the formal name is but with the original Carter on a M880 theres that wound spring on the intake manifold that closes the choke in cold weather, opens once warm.

Supposed to anyway.

Can you still buy those? I've tried playing around with it but its just too wore out I guess. If they can't be bought, what's a decent solution?

Cant find the actual name, seems like bi-metallic choke assembly comes to mind.

Should be available, may be easier to find on a car site. Most are similiar just be sure you get correct rod lenght.

Or go to junk yard & search threw old 70's trucks/cars.
