Re: [ihc] Carb/jets/choke

I just did this conversion and as far as I can tell there is no way to keep
the electrostatic system with the 2300. There are electric conversion kits
available for about $25 but I don't care for electric chokes personally. The
benefits of a manual choke far outweigh the heavy labor involved with
pulling and pushing the cable. Jet size can be roughly calculated by where
you live and what engine you're putting it on. Perfect jetting is pretty
much unrealistic at home but you can get it pretty close through trial and
error. Listen to your motor. Smell and watch the exhaust. Check your plugs,
etc....The next best bet for proper jetting can be done for a little money
with a gas analyzer and most any auto shop will have one of these. Perfect
jetting can really only be accomplished through dynamic monitoring of the
drivetrain and analyzing of it's exhaust at the same time but that requires
a dyno and very few people will ever have their car on a dyno for normal
daily driving. Anyway you will be happy with the 2300 and it's simplicity in
both build and functionality.
Good Luck,
~Ryan
