| -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Swdl. {Len H. Swindell} 6/HA.19.12.32. When using the original choke (E.100660) which has a taper of 3°-30', there is a slight loading up. We have tried a venturi to (V.1456) which has taper sides of 5°-45' and in conjunction with 1.625 diam. parallel sided throttle body there is no trace of loading up, this combination having a free area between the throttle body and the venturi of 1.29 sq. in. We still have tests to carry out to determine the most suitable size of venturi. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Swdl. {Len H. Swindell} | ||
