<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">The BN7 which I previously owned had this set up. Similar to what Charlie did I picked up a hot wire, ran it through a switch under the dash and then to the thermocarb. Worked quite well for the 18 or so years I had the car.

<div>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.</div>

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.<br clear="none" class="yiv5592497089">
