Standard Motor Products CV98 Choke Thermostat

The Standard Motor Products CV98 is a carburetor choke thermostat designed to regulate the automatic choke system in carbureted engines. This component uses a bimetallic spring that responds to temperature changes to control choke plate operation, ensuring proper fuel mixture during cold starts and warm-up periods.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement choke thermostat for reliable cold-start performance
• Bimetallic coil design provides precise temperature-based choke control
• Part of the Blue Streak professional-grade product line
• Manufactured to OE specifications for proper fit and function
• Helps prevent rough idle, stalling, and hard starting conditions

The choke thermostat is a critical component in older carbureted vehicles, working in conjunction with the choke housing to automatically adjust air-fuel mixture as the engine reaches operating temperature. When this part fails, symptoms typically include excessive fuel consumption, black smoke from exhaust, rough running when cold, or failure to start in cold conditions.
