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 might be interested. I have one on my 911 with PMO carbs and I'll be honest I don't use it much. Now keep in mind Florida generally doesn't get very cold and my PMO's I only have to feather the throttle for 15-20 seconds and they settle into a smooth idle. I'm guessing Webers may need a little more help. I have Webers on my GT clone.
