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?

My 2056 has dual carbs and starting it is not too much trouble. Got to pump the throttle a bit to get fuel in the chambers first. The first attempt doesn't start the car as the carb bowls fill with fuel (after sitting for a week +) before it will start.
I do find that the engine hesitates off the line quite a bit before it is warm w/o a choke with carbs. Much more obvious in the cold weather as opposed to summer temps. |
