73 Wagoneer Choke Pulloff

[Kayparkah73]

Hey guys! So I need some help finding a part for my 73 Wagoneer. It has the 360 in it, and I need a new choke. It doesn’t like to start without putting gas in the carburetor, and when it does start the choke gets stuck open and idles high until I give it gas to idle normally.

Does anyone know where I can buy a new one or even a Wagoneer junk yard somewhere in the US that may have it?

Search for 2100 choke pulloff and you'll find plenty of sources. Napa probably lists it too.

Welcome from Boston.

JMO - I'd just buy a carb kit and rebuild the carburetor. It'll be in there. Unless the jeep was owned by an enthusiast, most likely it needs rebuilding. Not difficult.

Also, should be a thermoelectric choke, and it need both a hot air connection and a wire to function properly. The hot air tube is typically broken or gone.

Thanks for the Info! I’m actually from Mass too.

I got the carburetor rebuilt a few months ago, but it still doesn’t like to start without a little help. The mechanic who rebuilt it told me about the choke, and how it needs to be replaced. I’m not 100% surewhere those wires are that you mentioned.

Here’s a link with some diagrams and videos about choke on 2100 carbs, might be helpful

AFAIK, 2100 doesn’t have electric heater (2150 does) so maybe there’s no wire

the 2100 on the 73, is a thermostatic coil, no electric feedback.

your issue seems that the choke does not close to allow proper function...

1) your thermostatic coil could be out of alignment with the cam of the choke flapper

2) there is a lever on the driver's side that is plastic and get buggered up... to adjust the opener when the engine runs

the pict below is from a new website, check the upper right side, it shows a plunger that is activated by a plastic rod


website which I have no financial gain nor real knowledge of the quality of the items being sold, for reference only,

3) the fast idle cam that can get stuck, and that seems to be your issue as well



Otherwise a note on the 2100 from personal experience:
BUT, if it is really cold, eyeball about less than 40F when the radiator takes a long time to warm up, the thermostatic coil may not open fast enough - for severe winter weather, it does not open! I made a cage to keep the choke open for winter trip in the 74.
