Nope!...the carb secondaries will open any time the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the throttle is 'floored'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey!...I like that answer!........, Frankly it's not the one we're looking for here, but I can't say that you're wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I should probably add some info to the original question................. All Avanti R1 engines have this item, however, it's NEVER used........ (whether the engine is running or shut off!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...........you did say "normal" driving. I equate opening the secondaries up with "spirited" driving! Request for clarification: is this 'item' only on R1 engines installed in Avantis, or is it also on Lark and Hawk R1 engines? Edited September 4, 2017 by r1lark added info............
