Title: DCOE - choke cable?
Post by: DavidLaver on 18 April, 2013, 08:59:10 AM

I have a twin cam with twin DCOEs.  I can see on the back of each a lever to control the "cold start mechanism" but on this car there's no choke knob or cable.

Is there a start procedure that means I don't need all that?

Pump throttle 3 or 4 times then use starter, and warm slowly until it revs ok :)

Just did a Google and got this on a Lotus site:

They make the cold start unit sound "optional" also.
