[QUOTE="brianinpa, post: 185501, member: 2394"] My manifold isn't the same (center tube is round and not square) but I am running a 34 pict 3. This morning it was 29 degrees out. The electric choke on my carb is disconnected and the mechanical conversion kit I installed isn't doing what I want it to do, so I don't have any choke at all right now. Anyway, I just twist the throttle two or three times to give a few squirts of raw fuel down into the manifold and it fires right off... that is as long as the starter clutch engages correctly. When I have it running, I just lock the throttle open at about 2,000 rpm for a few minutes and then I am ready to ride. No heat, no choke, AND no icing problems even in 29 degree temps. I know there are those that claim that heat is a must if you want to go the single carb route, but as Vince mentioned, that myth has been busted. I did NOT solder the hole in the butterfly closed or mess with the tube to direct where the fuel dumps into the carb. What I did do is adjust the jets, and then adjusted the acelleration pump until I have the smoothest take-off possible. I have no stumble that I notice so far. [/QUOTE]
