Stuart,
Thanks for the suggestions and questions.
I'd like to set up the choke on both carburetors for a couple of reasons: it would be simple to wire and then I would not have to disable the choke on one (or remove or block open the choke flapper). On my old dual Rochester set-up, I only connected one of the manual chokes and it started fine.
This truck is set up with original 6v generator and voltage regulator and a wiring loom that supposedly meets
original specs (for wire gauge and wire color). The lead to the coil is supposedly 18 gauge and it is a relatively thin wire compared to other wires (it's about the thinnest that I can see). I was wrong above, the carb specs call for a 14 gauge wire for 12v to both carbs.
I like your idea of using the ARM terminal on the voltage regulator. Could this do any harm?
Now, this next question will prove I am electrically disabled: if a 14 gauge wire is needed for a 12v set-up, wouldn't a heavier wire be needed in a 6v set-up? Or, will the draw be lower for 6v and it will take longer for the choke to fully open and the lower gauge wire would be OK?
Tim
