Anyone have a fast idle on their 12v? Ho'd you do it?
I have a pull cable but hate it. One of my friends found a solenoid and a chain and it works good but he can't find anymore of them

 

how about a cruise control motor from a junkyard and the little chain? use a spring loaded switch(center off) to move the motor each direction?

 

possibly never thought of that. Aren't they vacuum operated?

 

not all. i think some of the gm's in the 90's were electric. since you have a stick i see your concern.

 

Use an electic motor connected to a screw drive that acts directly on the throttle linkage, thats how most of your heavy EQ with manual pumps set their throttle.

Or theres always a good adjustable PTO cable with center kickout they run bout 50$

Thats exactly what I have but I hate it, where would I find one of those screw motors?

 

I used a solenoid from an old Rochester Quadra-Jet carb. I made a little bracket that bolts to two timing cover bolts. It won't push the trottle open but will hold it if I rev it up and activate the solenoid. The plunger length is adjustable so I can set the fast idle speed. I'll try to post a pic as soon as I can.

 

Ok sounds good, Are you born and raised in saskatoon berner?

 

Born in Lloydminster, lived here for the last 40 yrs. Are you close to here?

 

No I'm about 140 miles south but there's lots of berners around here and alot of them are cousins of mine
