Weber 40IDF Choke Use - Anybody?

Is any body using the choke(s) on their Weber 40IDF conversion kit carbs? They call it the "Cold Start Option".

Has it helped you in starting the engine?

I have heard that the internal plungers the choke lever moves can get stuck in the rich position and you may not know it.

How do you activate the levers from the cockpit? I am thinking of plain old choke cable for manual control or a 12 volt normally open solenoid with a normally open on off switch.

Thanks,
Ron

Choke Use

I must admit the car starts with no effort or pumping of the gas pedal since I installed the new Webers. What a pleasure and treat. I still can't believe it! I start it up every night just to experience the feeling.

I used to be embaressed when I had a passenger and tried to start the car cold.

Probably will never hook up the choke. But then again, it gets mighty cold here in Chicago during the winter. Time will tell!

Ron the Weber man.
