****** F-head choke question
How are you supposed to hook up the choke to one of these? My 49
pickup has one of these F-heads. I think that it may not be the
origonal motor but am not sure. Also, the carb has been changed
numerous times.
For all the carbs that I have had on her it is always the same story,
to *CLOSE* the choke I push in the button, to *OPEN* the choke I pull
the button out. Is there something wrong with the replacement carb,
or was this set up wierd from the get-go?
If anyone knows if the F-head was standard in the <51 series (flat
nose) that would be appreciated. If you have one of these I would
love to see a picture.
Thanks in advance,
John Welch

Re: ****** F-head choke question
Most choke plate rods have a slotted end that the lever screws onto. If
the lever is on the top, then the choke could be a pull off type. If
you flip the lever to the bottom, then the choke will work opposite.
I can do either easily on my Carter BBD. I have it set as a pull on,
but easily could make it a pull off.
I can also change the pull by running the cable either to the front or
rear side of the carb rather than flipping the lever.
