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?

No not really needed a handthrottle is a better solution,getting the cables setup correct would be a hard task,last thing you need is one to stay open a bit and fuel wash your motor.
I remember an old article on the Porsche 356/ 912 about why they had no chokes on the these cars the reply from Porsche was something like ''parts you don't need'' . On my six its 3-4 pumps on the accelerator hand throttle full on and it starts right up,not long before you pull the hand throttle back to idle,if your carbs are dialed in you will have the same result with a 4. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
