Hi Guys,
One of my issues is the lack of space for the Choke. I have the Throttle worked out and the Choke somewhat where I need it to be. Check out the 2 Pics of enclosed. The Choke is working but the strain is quite a lot on the servo. There's a lot of servo strain closing the choke & opening, but once it's there it seems to be doing the job. I worry about the overall drain on the battery, but I got to think, how much I will actually be using it putting a load on the battery.
Note: The Choke - I am using the old
"Sullivan Type NY-Rod" The "Red tube type with the Yellow Nylon Rod inside" is not a steel rod all the way thru. It is a 1" steel rod screwed into a Yellow NY-Rod going thru the firewall to the servo. At the servo end another 2" steel rod screwed into the NY-Rod with EZ-Connectors at both ends.
I wish there was a way to remove the stiffness of the choke. It seems like there is some kind of detent or ratcheting ball that locks it in when going from closed to open position.
Any ideas on how to remove the detent on the choke or to make the choke not so stiff?
Thanks
Ed
