Not a Sixer myself, but just curious as to what the purpose was for providing a floor mounted throttle lever within inches of the gas pedal on the 914-6s?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanx Cap'n....."Wery Interesting" - as Arte Johnson on Laugh-in used to say! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
By the same token, moving the lever closer to the driver's seat could've caused all sorts of confusion with the heater lever, to disastrous results! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I always liked the trouble free (usually) automatic Cold Start Valve (CSV) on my 73 2L's D-jet.......no worries....most of the time.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ...until our Pacific onshore coastal salt air got in & corroded electrical connections on the EFI - esp. when I lived 3 blocks from the beach in Huntington Beach & even with a closed garage!
