Would anyone please explain how it works?
I have pictured of an old phone dialer bolted to the handlebars...
No, really, I need to understand if th Dial-a-Jet is operable while ON the bike or if I have to stop and tune it by the roadside...
Also, if it works on any CV or flat slide carb or what.
I might decide to get one for the Savage (Mikuni BST40) or perhaps one for the Dyna as well
(which currently runs on the stock Keihin 36 but has a Mikuni flat slide 42 lurking... heheheh...)
Else, I was considering bar-mounted choke levers in order to adjust the carburation for altitude.
Imagine you live at sea level and plan a long trip somewhere up high:
the trick would be to adjust carburation for... 5000ft. and gradually pull the choke maybe 1/16th inch as you go back down to sea level.
All you need is to set reference notches so you have "0 sea level, 2000ft., 4000ft., 6000ft reference notches, and you relieve the choke as you climb.
I saw this on a Swiss-registered Guzzi waaay back in 1975-6 or thereabouts, the guy was riding with the choke half.pulled and explained the trick to me.
Genius !!! Who needs fuel injection ?
