[Healeys] Thermo-electric choke Q

[Tracy Drummond]

Here's a link to how to adjust the enrichment carb.
Mine is wired to hot and ground through a hidden under-dash switch.

The car is HBT7L3213.  The head that I have does not have the sending unit
bung so it is wired to hot and ground through a hidden under-dash switch.

I only use it for cold starts, after the car has been sitting, or for the
occasional cheap thrill.  It is novel to have the car running with folks
standing there hood open, then kick it on.  The hissing it makes is pretty
pronounced and RPMS increase noticeably from plain idle.  Heads do turn and
eyebrows rise for the uninitiated.  wheeeeee

Here is a link about adjusting these bad boys.

Hi Doug,

I have a pretty full schedule tomorrow, but over the next day or two I will
try to take some pictures of the thermo choke set-up set-up and email it to
you.

I have not yet got around to getting a Heritage Certificate for my BT7, so I

do not know the build date.  I am the second owner and I am still in touch
with the first.  He bought the car in 1960, as a 1960 model, but it has the
hallmarks of a car built in late 1959: the thermo choke and 100-6 horn
button.

Cheers,

Mirek
