Re: Dash pot

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A dashpot slows the return of the throttle to the closed position when you 
take your foot off the gas to keep the engine from choking.
What many people call a dashpot is actually a choke pull-off, which uses 
engine vacuum to open the choke and disengage the fast idle. It is needed 
because the bi-metallic spring in the choke well of the intake heat 
crossover takes longer to warm up than you'd want to wait with the engine at 
fast idle. My '65 413 had a choke pull off, but no dashpot.
