Re: Re timing marks (score: 1): Author: "Greg Lemon" <glemon@neb.rr.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 19:13:26 -0500; I think the statement that a Healey should need a little choke to start or at least start easily from cold is correct.

Re: Re timing marks (score: 1): Author: Blue One Hundred <international_investor@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 18:54:14 -0700 (PDT); The HD8's choke mechanism works best when everything is adjusted off, but will engage as soon as you start pulling the lever.
