Converting from automatic to manual choke

[Paulco]

Hello

Has anyone converted their automatic choke to manual one? Was it easy?

I have, but not on a Bullnose.  They used to make kits that had all the parts you needed.  Just remove the choke cap, put on their part, and run the cable - like a throttle cable on a lawnmower.

Holley actually makes a kit for their carburetors that converts to a proper manual choke system. Most of the "universal" ones I used to see had one major issue, the lever was so short that off to on was maybe 3/4" of cable travel where a proper manual choke has close to 2" of travel and the fast idle cam is a smooth piece that allows you to pull it on without having to depress the gas.
