    Question Carb question (2x4 Tunnel Ram)

     



    I've got Weiand 2x4 with a pair of 600 Holleys on top....

    Both have manual chokes, but neither are connected.

    They're mounted inline with a direct main linkage (not progressive)

    Does anyone make a linkage that will connect both manual choke arms so I can use a single cable to control both?

    no but just make one all you need is a solid link there in line. i had 2x4 and some milled off chokes and some 1050 and 1150 they never had any thing . it was never was that bad with out the chokes let it warm up ? less you running it in the cold weather

    I have no problem making one, but I want to see my options and use whatever has the cleanest look

    With the choke set (on either one or both), she fires up instantly with my arm through the window

    Without the choke, she cranks for a few seconds before coughing and I gotta play with the pedal before she finally gets going

    If I remember correctly, doesn't the front carb feed the front four cylinders and the rear carb feed the rear four cylinders? For that reason, you cannot run progressive linkage.
