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?

Most people disable them by tapping the casting for screws to hold the plungers down. The problem with them is they can stick and dump raw fuel into the intakes. I always wanted to have the enrichment circuits, but honestly never really needed them.
In reality, fuel injection is your best bet for all situations, but it sounds like you're already set with the carbs. |

QUOTE In reality, fuel injection is your best bet for all situations, but it sounds like you're already set with the carbs. Well, that's a story I just wrote about on another thread. I tore this engine down for rebuild in 1989. A large reason was because the FI had become an unreliable POS and I had no idea how to fix it. Everyone was putting carbs on back then, so I rebuilt the bottom end with a carb cam and bought the IDFs. Twenty-eight years later and I'm finally finishing the project. Eventually, I'll likely go back to the FI but for now, it will be these carbs. |
