Question Help Weber Carb

I have a Weber Carb ( I think!) and the choke is free, just not closing!
How do you adjust it, or can it be replaced with a electric choke?
Any help would be great!
Thanks again for all of the help!
Don

What engine and year? Electric choke or one heated by the intake manifold?

Hi Speedy!
95 2400 SCR 5.7 A1 GII heated by intake . Choke pivits ok just does not have any spring tension to close when cold! Starts hard when cold, have to pump it to get it running!
Runs excellent when it warms up! Cold blooded!
Thanks!
Don

Spring probably no good. I converted mine to electric because a new heated spring is $80 and the electric kit was $50... post a picture of the side of the carb to verify it's the same style if you're interested in the conversion...

Thanks Speedy!
I will take some photos next week as we have Dr. appointments and a trip to visit friends this weekend!
Hope I will be able to post them as my camera is a high res.
Don't know if this site will except high res!
Thanks
Don

Sorry Speedy!
I can't seem to post pics!
We have had 2 deaths in the family and was away for several weeks.
That is why I have not posted back!
I am going to convert to an electric choke!
Thanks for the help!
Don
