Auto chokes for 2 stroke 40QMB

[sgtp]

Hi all

My 2 stroke has this type of  auto choke:




Now, it seems that the only chokes available anywhere in New Zealand are for 39QMB, GY6 carbs, like this:



So my question is:  If I can get this mounting plate or make my own, will the commonly found 4 stroke/39QMB/GY6 chokes fit?  Can any one meaure the spacing on the holes in these mounting plates for me?  Or better yet, can anyone tell me if the GY6 one will work effectively if rigged to fit a carb that uses the choke posted at the top of my message?




I'd really like to avoid having to set up a mailing address for a US company to send my order to, then to pay a service to then forward it on to me in NZ (because nearly all US sites do not mail internationally)  My only other option is to by a carb that fits these gy6 chokes.  I have not gotten a clear answer yet, but I think the lack of local avilability is a sinister plot to remove all 2-smoker scooters from the road, lolz.

I think it won't work. the choke body needs to seal the vacuum. The top one seals on the bottom of the base. The lower one seals inside the carburetor body with an "O" ring in that first groove, on the side. Can you convert yours to cable type?

What scooter have you got?

Yeah, the more I think about it, it would require some extra work (fabricating some kind of adapter that who knows if it would seal 100%). I think I'll keep looking for a correct part that I can get shipped to NZ.

I did convert my nonworking choke to a cable operated one, but its not nicely done to be honest...hard to use, etc, and I'd like to go back to an auto choke.
