Ford autolite 2150 question?
I replaced the old 2100 with a new 2150 carburetor.The old carb.uses the exhaust heat via a metal tube that connects to the choke assembly.
The new carb. has 2 options.It has the connection for the metal tube that comes off the exhaust or i can go electric. I decided to use the electric portion for the choke.The engine runs great and the choke is working good. Now,the question? If I remove the metal tube completely from the exhaust pipe,what is the best way to plug that hole with? I don't want that metal tube sticking out from the exhaust.Thanks for your help and suggestions. |

Does your new 2150 have a vacuum inlet on the choke housing?

You need to know if there is a vacuum draw at that fitting. If there is, it needs to be capped. Some choke assemblies used a controlled orifice there (filtered) to help cool the choke if full electric. Some systems did not use engine vacuum to draw heat from the choke stove but used THERMACTOR air to push the heated air to the choke housing. A vacuum leak there will cause a fuel/air ratio imbalance (boy sure is spitting out those big college words today ... ) and draw unfiltered air into the choke housing/engine. The 2100 would have kept it all much simpler ...

Re: Ford autolite 2150 question?
Thanks Kultulz for the link.Very interesting video from Mikes carburetors on the difference between the ford 2100 and the 2150. They are both about the same except that the 2150 has a choke pull off and the power valve on the 2150 Is a 2 stage versus a 1 stage on the 2100.I was using a 2100 and replaced it with the 2150 and its working great.Just had to do some air/fuel mixture adjustments and all is well.
