Thanks ,was the throttle mounted on the engine foe many years please? | ||
| James |
The SE2 with throttle was intorduced in 1948 and carried on til 1965. | ||
| Cranko |
Did the throttles work reasonably well, I never had much luck with the regulation part of them 
|

In my experience none of those kind of swing throttles work very well in that they don't seem to be very graduated. I would suspect that it would take a conventional type of screw valve to achieve this function.

They aren't too bad, better on the SE3 than the smaller models! ITs better when you have a piece of rubber on it so its less hot to touch! |

They work very well IMHO, have a look here:
