Auto choke unit

  1. Hi all hope you can help me,the connection to the auto choke has snapped has anybody done a repair or is it a new unit required
     
  2. You can probably solder a short length of wire to the pin, then crimp a spade on the end and plug it back in. Insulate the connection.

  6. as above - solder a short length of wire and put a male terminal on the end of it
     
  7. Thanks will give it a shot !
     
  8. Give it a good clean and get it nice and hot. Should be OK to solder.

    I'd probably use something like a Weller 8100 heat gun for the job. If you take it off the van a butane gas powered iron could also work well. A small electronics soldering iron won't be up to the job though.
    If you get stuck and you're not in a rush for it, you're welcome to post it to me for soldering.

    Good to see you guys at Eastnor too! :)

    True hackers would drill out the copper rivets, replace the tag and then rivet it back up again.

    Solder a wire to it , but get a lot of heat to it - a gas cigarette lighter can be used as a preheater before going for a soldering iron.
     
  10. Cheers will let you know how I get on
