Thanks for the tip Jesse,
I thought as much (about that auto-chocke),but I will see how to control
it manually.
That shouldn't be to much of a problem.
About the HP, I know, but 1500 watts is about what I need, so it will
do,and in case I need more; nothing that a drop of nitromethane cann't
fix....
There also seems to be a tube, that runs from the valvebox of the
motor,back to the carb, do you have an idea, what that is all about?
