Manual Choke Conversion Kits
While investigating my recent automatic choke fault, one option I considered was to convert it to a manual choke but on looking around for prices I found that places like Halfords and Partco hadn’t sold them for quite some time. Eventually I managed to find somebody who is now retired but still manufactures these in small amounts mainly for the French market. He said he still had a few available for the BX and quoted me £35 which seems a pretty decent price. I think his company used to be called Roehampton Products Ltd. His present contact details are,

As it happens I managed to get a choke conversion kit off eBay for just over £10 which I am thinking of installing despite the fact that I eventually managed to sort out my choke problem. I mainly use my BX 19TRS for short runs so that the engine hardly has time to fully warm up.

This is very interesting.
I got Weber DMTR to replace my late Weber 36 TLP. It is not installed yet (I must get 2-chamber carb manifold first or redo the one I have) and although the thermostatic choke seems to work OK (when tested for temperatures between 0 - 25 centigrades), it may be that any tip will come handy for future need of such conversion.
Thanks in advance.
