I removed the water choke because I was having hard starting in the heat-thought it would remove some of the heat. Also installed a thick gasket between the carb and the manifold-this seems to have fixed the problem. Had a electric choke for the Weber so I hooked it up with a wire(in line fuse) that was activated by the key on on. All seems to be working well-choke opens and closes as it should-some heat from the choke but not as much as the water choke. Anything else? thanks Jim
