X Flow Set Up

Excuse the probably daft question but can I put an automatic choke on twin 40's without using some kind of management ?

If the answer is yes, what & where do I need to go to get this sorted ?

 

Cheers

You after a fast tick over when you fast start up? mine sits nice at around 1000RPM when cold even with 244 cam. my carbs do have a choke on the top but never thought to connect it up

I'm not after a fast tickover - just a choke so that I don't have to play Russian roulette when I turn the key every day to use the car

I found with mine 3 pumps of the throttle then it normally starts on the button if not been left for months. Im not sure if many car that had 40's as a factory fit would of had a auto or a man coke

Same for me, a few pumps and away she goes. Though I do need to feather the throttle a little till it warms up a bit

Not even sure it's possible to run a choke with DCOEs? 

I was the same as you guys, 3 slow pumps of the throttle and it would fire no problem.

I used to have a nova sport which are fitted with 40's , that used to have a manual choke on it, alrho has the others have said I just used to pump the throttle twice and it always started.

Pumpidy pump it is then by the sounds of it.

 

Cheers everyone

My Dellorto 40's have a man choke but i think it beacuse they cam off a car that would of had them from factory, from what i can see its a valve that allows air out to allow it to run richer. sounds terrible like huge air leak....welll i guess it is a huge air leak

Mine is pull choke out, turn key and hey presto it starts. No pumping needed.

 

Maybe you have an underlying problem that needs sorting out?

All dcoe's have a choke but is rarely connected as it's not really needed.
