Motorcraft 2150 carburetor automatic electric choke conversion setup Ford V8

This episode we have a little look at the Motorcraft 2150 carburetor found on loads of Ford and AMC products from the 60s to the early 80s.

In particular we are focusing on the electric automatic choke, how it works and how to tune the choke opening speed.

Super detailed video mate. Hope i can get mine to work as well as you explain it.

Thanks for making this video! Appreciated the detailed explanation

Just a second opinion:
We bought our F-100 in 1979.
It has manual choke, but NEVER is needed or used.
One little 1/2 press on the gas petal and it fires instantly, regardless of temperature.
After all of these years, I cannot imagine wanting automatic choke on our 292.
$0.02

Thank you for this detailed explanation of the carburetor Choke, which I followed in my old Nissan Jeep. After installing it, I did not feel any problem in operating the engine except that there is some smoke coming out with the exhaust before the engine warms up. Is this something normal? Greetings to you from Riyadh.

Great video! I have a question for you though. I have a 1980 e OD e BSA Carb. Mine has a little nipple that some linkage from the accelerator pump actuates. I notice your carb has that blocked off yet has a vacuum line near it. I am not sure what my nipple does. It can move in and out when the accelerator linkage moves. My issue is that the nipple recently started pouring out fuel and does more so when I press it in. Any more words of wisdom that would help me understand what that part is and why it’s leaking?

Great video. I have a question. The hot air inlet and the 12V both heat the choke element? Can you explain how those two things work together? Seems like you'd just use one or the other.

Where does the fitting above the accelerator pump housing go?

Closed fully and carb still running high throttle plat pops up high idle if I push it down idle runs perfect once I hit throttle idles back high agin

Show where the spring goes. Nobody shows it.

I think YOU kinda understand how the choke works, but you sound like you do not know what you are talking about. The thing that interupted my pattern is that you call the thermostat an "electronic" choke. The coil inside is called a thermostatic spring. The thermostat was engineered and manufactured with circuit boards, relays, capacitors, transistors, and other true electronic components. The thing has a spring that reacts to electricity. That is it. No rocket science there. You point out a set screw you call a "pin." They are two different parts.
Your accent is a bit difficult to understand as I am American and experience difficulty understand broken/crooked English outside of the U.S. Plus, and sooo irritating you do not speak with enough volume so you can be heard clearly.
Not that I am a stickler for detail, but I get pissed when people screw up the details, put echoee videos, insert over bearing music I do not favor (you get one point for not inserting annoying music), and speak softly.
The way I learned it is speak softly and carry a big stick, but that has no thing to do with carburetors. Make yourself heard like yourself like you got a pair as my drill sergeant used to say.
