As I start thinking about what needs to be done on the reassembly of the car, I was wondering how many people have installed the Tangerine Racing hand throttle and used it as a choke (for lack of a better term) for a carbed /4.
I like the idea of it but wanted to hear about the practicality of it in use. Any thoughts? |

Hand throttles can be helpful to maintain an increased idle during initial warmup (or as a poor man’s cruise control), but don’t act as chokes since they don’t close off airflow through the venturis.

I asked a similar question a few months ago about hand throttles vs. the Weber cold start circuit. Consensus was that neither are needed but you might find some of the discussion in that thread interesting/helpful. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2548200

Well made, and well engineered; but I'm not a fan of it because it intrudes into the driver's foot/leg area. Instead of mounting to the shifter like the factory 6's it's mounted to the side of the tunnel.
