Well if you'll believe this, my mechanic got Cam's bike (74 Police Eldo)
all tuned up to perfection and it starts with no choke and no throttle,
just turn on the key, hit the button, and she comes to life and idles
perfect, both when cold and warmed up, amazing! Told him to get mine
running that good! We'll see soon.

| Hey All, I was interested in hearing how JB started his bike....that is with no choke and only a twist of the throttle to squirt some love juice into the carbs. Charlie I think you said you start it the same way? As for me.....on both my bikes I set the choke about 3/4 and then take my hand right off the throttle. The bikes start right up. If I give so much as a hint of throttle then the bike floods and is tough to start. I've never thought about trying to start the bike with no choke and only a twist of throttle. Would be interesting to see how the girls start under this procedure. Of course this has no significance to Looper life but I always find it interesting to hear about the similarities in these old machines. Regards...Ian p.s. Andy....as I was writing this I could hear Frank Zappa's tune "Dynamo Hum" playing in the back of my head. Do you remember the song? ".....Couldn't say where she was comin' from but I just met a lady named Dynamo Hum.....She strolled on over said look her bum...I got a $40 dolla bill says you can't make me....." Love that song....and I hereby claim "Dynamo Hum" as my 70 Ambo's name :-) -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Giller <bgil-@mitre.org> To: Loopfram-@topica.com <Loopfram-@topica.com> Date: June 27, 2001 8:20 AM Subject: Re: Ambo throttle cable
