I am in the process of making a prototype hand throttle much like those that were used on 914-6 cars. For those of you who are not familiar with them it consisted of a lever mush like the heater lever that used a rod that ran through the tunnel up to the pedal assembly where it pushed on the accelerator lever to manually open the throttle for cold warm ups.
I think I can make the modified lever rod, bracket and modified accelerator piece and sell it for about $150. For all of you guys running carbs do you think there is a need for it? Bruce |

I think it's a great idea... the hand throttle is invaluable to me when starting and warming up the 911 on a cold day.
