Re: [T3] T3] cold weather idle

I think I've got the wrong end of the stick.  I thought Jim was
referring to a toothed cam as they have on Beetles and Bus carbs.
There's no toothed cam visible externally.  If you open up the
auto-choke housing there is a cam, but it just has two steps right
at one end.  This is what sets the choke closed, which was mentioned
in the original post.
