my 1200cc engine also used to have an electric choke. my carb was a 28-PICT solex. then the throttle arm started leaking fuel, and there's no machine shop in our area who could fix the sleeve, so i bought a new solex 30/31 carb. it still runs good, but i miss the 28-PICT fuel miser...
the 1200 I always figured was more reliable. the 1600 is good but in the later years the carb got to complicated. A damn 34 Pict 4 is a nightmare. Electronic choke The carb on my 1200 is very basic, has manual choke and actually restricts the motor from reving to fast because it acts like a restrictor. I have a friend that swears by 1500 single ports too. At any rate...my 1200cc has been running 46 years and still hasn't required a rebuild. Personally...that's pretty good
