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!

If you lived in Huntington beach, your CSV NEVER activated. It was never cold enough for it to come on. The Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Not in HB - ...but then I did go places like Big Bear, Arrowhead, Mammoth, Tahoe, Brianhead/Cedarbreaks, Park City, Ashland, etc. & assure you that the CSV did activate there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) ...heck, I still even have ski racks & a set of chains for the 165HR15s for the Teener! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In fact, I'd even done the Body Surf 1/2 day at the Beach & Ski 1/2 day in the mountains - ALL in ONE day thing - on several occasions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) ...also went up north during winter part of Rugby season to play games when it was actually cold enough to kick in the CSV! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) They did allow us to leave HB every once & awhile ~ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ...don't they let you out of Santa Maria Krusty?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) FYI All Y'all - the above are mountain ski resorts/areas with winter weather....
