Choke cable on 240Z

Hi friends,

I was wondering about the sence of 2 Choke lever in some early 240Z.

If I remember correctly it was prior to incorporating both cables into one lever. both chokes could be independantly controlled.

I don't know that any early 240's ever had a 2 levers for operating each individual choke, but the very early cars did have 2 levers; one operated the chokes and the other was a throttle control.

To my knowledge there has always been one lever for the 2 chokes. Technically, there is one lever, and only one cable for both chokes. the end of the cable (or wire) runs from the rear choke arm up to the lever where it wraps around and continues back to the other choke arm. Interesting tid-bit.

That second "Choke" lever you are referring to is actually the Thnrottle as kmack pointed out.

And I concur as well, never heard of choking one carburator and not the other and that would be the only reason to have separate levers / cables for the individual carbs.

But then again, stranger things do happen. I think this is one for Alan HS30.
