Re: old rochester 2brl from thermostatic to electric choke
Hi Ryan, Im sure it is possible to swap the choke parts over to electric. Being that age, it will more than likely have screws rather than "reevets" (saw reevets on another thread LOL had to say it) holding the cap on, so no drilling. Being it is a rochester, parts are ALL OVER, and flea bay is a great place to find that stuff used. J.C. whitney did sell a conversion kit, but I dont know if they still do? The main thing about the swap is to change the spring. The air spring, and electric spring are two different animals. Once together, a wire that is switched with the ignition will have to be run to the blade connector on the choke. However, dialing them in can sometimes be a pain in tha *** for folks that are unsure on how to set them.
Im not so sure about fitment, as rochester made hundreds, and hundreds of different styles. If unsure maybe contact J.C. Whitney, or these people.
