Choke Shaft
« on: November 30, 2015, 12:51:02 AM »
Will this shaft work on a Autolite 4100?  It appears to have the correct ending to convert a automatic choke to a manual choke.

The shape of the "arm" at the end looks the same but the method of attaching to the shaft is different when comparing it to a 66 example of a hipo carb. Guess that is what your working on since all others have the automatic choke

Jeff,

You guessed right.  I found a regular Autolite 4100 that is an automatic choke and trying to convert it to manual but step 10 in the link below says to peen the shaft or attach it another way, so thought I'd just find a shaft that is already setup for manual choke.
