Plus on a modern car like a focus will need a cat and closed loop to be legal for the mot and on the road, and these days you cant take the risk of failing a roadside emmisions check, plus its a dialy driver, who wants a manual choke these days
And i take in what you're saying, no they're not as ideal as TB's, but they are cheaper and if you take it to someone who's done it, they will know what Jets etc to use and as said, it's a bit of fun! I really don't see what the problem is with a manual choke? "Oh no, i have to pull a handle then push it in again a bit furter down the road" When it comes to MOT get your wiring loom out and put your standard management on
And btw, i want a manual choke
Repping it up in my '76 Hillman Imp hell yeeee!
