chocks (real ,not enrichening devices) are all basically the same.
there 3 types
i have no idea what yours is ,cuz PL dont say.
1: electric
2: exh. heat choke stove.
3: water.
but doesnt it matter, they all work the same way , it gets hot and it opens due to the action of the bi-metal spring inside.
you failed to say is the problem cold or hot start or both?
issues:
sticking gunked up linkage
maladjusted linkage (needs to be calibrated)
bad bi-metal spring. (as they age they get sluggish, ALL)
you are in England so no USA where the choke spring is riveted down. Happy feet.
ok, on the out side of the choke unit can be 3 screws, loosen them and rotate the choke
for less choking action. (many carbs have this. )
look for choke shaft and butterflies on top.
NO CHOKE BUTTERFLY VALVE ON TOP?
if your car has an enriching device. then that is a horse of another color.
it is an extra jet really.
if it leaks , it will make engine too rich.
it must be examined.
below is oldest carb for VITARA i could find.
the names are useless, eg: diaphragm, but no function names.
recommend finding really old Vitara , manual , Haynes or the like.
no all carbs are the same.
then newer they got, the worse they got, Complexity beyond even EFI.
hope this helps.
