 Need Help with Weber Carb 32/36 DGV (K624)
Dear All,

I come from a far away country in South East Asia. I plan to order a Weber Carb 32/36 DGV (K624) from Weber Redline to replace the stock Keihin carb (manual choke) of my 1981 Honda Civic, 1335cc (stock engine), manual transmission. I am uncertain which choke is right (electric or manual?). FYI, my country has a warm climate and choke is rarely used to start an engine. Can anyone from Datsun 1200 help? Thanking you in advance.

Cheers,
Agan_1873

Electric or manual should work.
- Manual would be better if you rarely use it, but you would need to run a cable to the dash
- Electric choke is easy to hook up, just wire to the coil resistor

Hi Agan,

Unfortunately I do no know. We are not Civic specialists here. But the Weber DGV is not much bigger than the Civic carburetor. If the Civic is using the Hitachi DCG/DCH306, most likely it will fit under the bonnet.

Hi ddgonzal,

The civic is using a stock Keihin Carb (manual choke). The accelerator pump housing is now damaged due to wear. Since getting a new Keihin carb is almost impossible nowadays I decided to just swap it with Weber Carb, in this case, Weber Carb 32/36 DGEV (K624) which seems to be the right choice for 1981 Civic (non CVCC). I have seen similar Civics using Weber carbs, although unsure which Weber types.

I am now close to buying the K624 for the civic, though still in doubt with the electric choke issue despite your clear explanation. Frankly, I would prefer manual choke to electric choke, since the civic was originally designed to use manual choke carb. Is it possible to get the Weber Carb 32/36 DGEV (K624) running in my Civic without having to connect the electric choke to the coil resistor? In short, leave the electric choke unplugged to the coil resistor? After all, choke is only used to start an engine. Thanks again, ddgonzal!

Hmmm a 5 speed would be nice...

But dude you really gotta get rid of the "camel bag" or whatever you want to call it. Go toa wrecker and pay them $2 and get a plastic bottle and bracket to replace that washer fluid resevoir (or camel bag as my dad strangely calls it.)

Other than that. Looks just like my enigne bay...

if in aint broke dont fix it!

i still run the "camel bag" and ive got no problem with it, i actually grabed a plastic one once but have never seen reason to put it in, my only problem with it is that its too far forward and ive considered moving it back for weight distribution reasons.
