Boody Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 This choke is on a motor I recently purchased .what type is it ? Can I remove it without any problems . Going to use a manual choke. Thanks Dave Quote
DJ194950 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 Yes and a check to see if it is operational will tell just using some jumper wires. They are expensive if Operational even used. NOS are big $$$ and hard to find! DJ Quote
Boody Posted October 25, 2020 Author Report Posted October 25, 2020 Didn't see any terminals or places to put wires ? The arm moves freely doesn't appear to be stuck. Quote
Sniper Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 That hole in the top? That part is missing and it's also the part that the wire hooks to. http://www.yourolddad.com/choke 1 Quote
DJ194950 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 Oh well, since you plan to change anyway. Was not paying enough attention as happens, too often at times! ? DJ Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 This is a Sisson Choke. Is this choke located in front of the carb or behind the carb? If the choke is located in front of the carb then you have the very very expensive sisson choke that was used from 1949-53 for the dodge and plymouths these NOS are now running well over 225 and UP more Up than 225 The cheaper sisson choke from 1935-53 for most chrysler cars sit behind the carb and they cost around 175-200 I have several of the cheaper chokes that are NOS. The picture on the left is the cheaper one the one on the right is the real expensice one and shows the locations of the arms and the arms can not be switch from the side to side.

Los_Control Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 I always found tossing a rag over the top of the carb was a good choke ... then run around and remove it after started. I was a little younger then, 16. I was a little faster then also. I dunno, seems to me the 1952 panel truck would have came with a manual choke. Possibly the throttle cable also ... I could be wrong. If you have some sort of automagic choke gizmo on your carb, probably carb was replaced at some time with something that did not belong. Quote
greg g Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 Maybe the whole engine was changed. Quote
Boody Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Posted October 26, 2020 This isn't the original motor just found it in Connecticut. The choke is in front of the carburetor. The motor I think is a 1953 Plymouth 218 . That truck did have a manual choke . Will try to test it. Thanks Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 If it is the plymouth engine then it would have the sisson choke that would be in front of the carb. and it would look like the right hand picture that i posted of the two different model of sisson chokes,.

Conn47D24 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 Looks like a sisson with out the electro magnet on top! Quote
Boody Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Posted October 26, 2020 I took it off cleaned it up a little but I still couldn't say if it works or not does move freely . Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Posted October 27, 2020 you are missing the entire top section and the part where the electrical wire connects to the choke to energizse the choke so I do not think it is going to work. rich hartung 1 Quote
