Choke Fitted to Crossflow


TANGO7

Recommended Posts

I've just acquired a '92 Crossflow (GTS model supplied as a CKD Kit) and the twin 40's are fitted with a choke. None of the several Crossflows I've owned had this. 

Is the fitment of a choke of any benefit, or (as I suspect) an additional complication surplus to requirements?

If it's actually connected I would remove it. It's not necessary for starting (a few pumps of the throttle will do the trick) and is just something else to go wrong. It's not even very effective.

Just as a point of interest, it's not actually a choke. A choke works by literally restricting (choking) the air flow through the carb, thus making the mixture richer. On DCOEs, the device works by opening up additional fuel jets to allow more fuel into the engine, but without restricting air flow.
