Repair shop lost my last chock rod on my Holley-Weber 5220. I have metal rod to make more, but I am not sure of the exact length. Does anyone have one handy that they can measure?

What is a choke?

Something that helps start the old car in the winter.

Hmmm....Never had one that worked, even in MI winters.

What's the application? I have two carbs that look like that.

The way almost every UFC fight ends or - something on my snowblower that needs to be repaired.

In reply to 914Driver:

The little rod attached to the choke door in your picture.

I'll look around tonight. I knew what a choke rod was, didn't know if this is the carb you have. I have one from a Samurai and one from a Fiest/Festiva. Both look like the one above.

Any chance of bending one up? How about a manual choke cable, no rods?

I want to use the electric choke. I am all for bending one up. I was hoping someone could measure theirs so I can make it the right size. Made one yesterday out of 1/8" rod, but it is a bit too thick. About and inch and a half (not counting bent portions) seems about right

The choke rod usually controls the fast idle cam.
