i ve looked at mine for ages and i have nt much idea whats what on a carb really . I ve looked in haynes escort and cortina books and it does nt seem to tell you .But i ve got a cortina 1600E manual and i can t find any mention on there either until i found a little picture of the layout of the switches on the dashboard and and there was one for the choke !!!so like you said it must be manual . Cheers Richard

there are two types of auto choke

One which is heated by the engine coolant and has 2 hose connections on a round chamber, the thing at the right of this picture-





the other has a round housing with a connector for a wire, it is heated by this till it switches off, the black housing in the bottom of this picture -




If it has none of these then it is probably a manual choke carb and requires a cable to be connected to it and a handle on the dash, the cables can be bought from Car builder solutions web site.
