hand throttle vs cold start circuit, Anyone use the CSC on Webers? Options

[bbrock]

My Webers have the cold start circuits installed. While I'm replacing the floor pan and have easy access to the tunnel, I am thinking about adding a couple tubes to run cables from a hand throttle lever to the carbs to operate the chokes. Wondering if anyone has done this and whether it would provide superior cold starting to the traditional hand throttle. I live in the frigid north where it can freeze any day of the year, so I want the best cold start operation I can get. Thoughts?

My 914 as purchased with its single centre mounted carb was very hard to start. That carb had a choke arrangement that was disconnected.

To connect it I simply ran a cable from engine, through centre of firewall low down about where the other cables , fuel line etc go through, horzontally out the small access hatch between the seats near the firewall, along the right hand slider of the driver's seat and made a small bracket to mount the cable pull lever on to the front R H seat, down close to the floor.

Worked perfectly, no horrible cable kinks, unobtrusive, easy to manipulate, no dashboard modifications, etc

I know you obviously have different carbs, but if you do decide to connect a cable you might find the above the easiest way to do it.
