[Healeys] Thermo start carbs

[Charles Schott]

My BT7 had a thermo carb but I put a chole cable and knob on the dash and connected it to an on/off switch under the left fender that feeds 12 volts to the solenoid of the third carb. Works great, the car always starts on the first crank. 

Regards, 

Charlie

My BT7 originally had the thermo carb and was retrofitted with a manual choke before I got it. When I was restoring it, I asked Joe Curto about converting back to the original setup - he said don’t bother. So I didn’t.

With all the discussion on the thermo start feature, I found this interesting 3 pg. passage in the Austin Service Journal from Sept 9, 1959 to Dec 9, 1959...didn't last long.

Here also is the correct procedure to eliminate one, if you have finally had enough fun with it. Hank
