My Webers have the cold start circuits installed. While I'm replacing the floor pan and have easy access to the tunnel, I am thinking about adding a couple tubes to run cables from a hand throttle lever to the carbs to operate the chokes. Wondering if anyone has done this and whether it would provide superior cold starting to the traditional hand throttle. I live in the frigid north where it can freeze any day of the year, so I want the best cold start operation I can get. Thoughts?

The original hand throttle just provided another way to depress the accelerator cable on the -6s. Please post pics of your Weber carbs with the chokes - I assume they’re not for a -6 as I’ve never seen chokes on the 40IDA or IDT carbs.

These are 40IDFs for a 4 banger. Seems everyone using these with air cooled engines either ignore them, or block them off because engines start cold without using it. But 95% of those people live in Cali so..... Here's a pic of the cold start on one of my carbs. The circuit adds a little extra fuel to richen the mix rather than reduce air like a traditional choke. Seems like this would be better than than just bumping up revs with a hand throttle until the engine warms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
