I'm not sure I understand... Do you mean like a choke? like, I know my 40 DCOE has a choke of sorts, never need to use it unless ambient temp is like 65* or below, even then it's just for a second to get it going then it idles a touch rough until it's warm.

Hmm, I don't know. Mine came with the choke switch already attached, I couldn't imagine how you could install it if you didn't already have it. But that's a DCOE, maybe the 32/36 and 38/38 are different. What type of weber do you plan to get?

Oh interesting.. The top image looks like mine, I didn't realize the mechanism was so simple! Yeah, then it looks like you could have it either way, and converting to or from wouldn't be very hard at all.

I have the cold start chokes on my 40mm DCOE's. Honestly, I've never used them. Even when it's been 20-32 degrees F, so 0 C or below, I can always get it started after a few tries. (Pump pedal 3 times, fire it up, feather the gas, it dies, try again, etc....) once it gets going I run it at 1500-2000rpms for about a minute to a minute and a half and then I can start driving.

I can get my car going easy enough without the cold start mechanism, but with it it's much easier. I just ran a push/pull cable to it, one pump of the gas and a half pull on the cable and it starts first time. Without it I have to pump, turn it over for a second, let it die, pump, turn it over a couple more seconds, and then just barely throttle it to keep it going until it's warm. Long story short, not necessary but nice to have.
