I think that is the _problem_ and not the solution.

There's a Solex on my 2002 right now, today. It's getting a little
long in the tooth for daily commuting but I take it work at least
once a week. Runs great, no diagnostic cable needed. The manual
choke is a great theft-prevention system too.

Yeah, it's true. The original could be ordered with the Solex, Weber,
or an arcane Bosch fuel injection system. The Solex variant was the
cheapest, so that's what I got. I've been saying I am going to upgrade
it for the past 25 years, but other things have been higher priorities.

coming from the other direction, once you have the weber[s], you'll be
kicking yourself for not having done the swap ages ago. you won't live
forever so get it in while it's still worthwhile.

My 2002s both had the Weber. Can't say if they were any
better than Solex but awesome response and very reliable.

I would rather have a manual choke than an automatic choke that I have
no way of controlling [1] what it does. Fuel injection the opposite
(and yes, there are fuel injected engines with manual enrichment
circuits in current production, but maybe not on cars).

[1] By this I mean while driving - I am aware that one can adjust/modify
how these operate, but that is another thing altogether.

I thought the 2002tii used Kugelfischer injection, not Bosch? Or were
some of the parts Bosch built?

I've never driven a 2002tii but I certainly would enjoy the opportunity.
