I had the same set up in my 1975, but with side tanks at 20 gal each. For the choke I just put a hand choke and problem solved!!
You can put the knob on the rear bulk head or like i did, I opened the engin cover all the time before starting as I was afraid of fumes, so I pulled the choke started after a few min set the choke closed the cover and I was good fo the day.

46 in the early years and 60 later on, wellcraft never offered anything bigger in the v20.

good luck

Welcome aboard MrBill. Cant help but think of the little red playdoh guy from old SNL shows..oh oh ohhhhhhhhh lol. Does your choke use a linkage that goes into the intake manifold? Or do you have the round black oreo cookie looking choke actuator mounted on the side of the card. Either way, you should be able to install an electric choke conversion on it as an option.

Good luck!!

those chokes will wrok right if the choke coil is good. When you finish the carb, set the choke so its just enough to keep it closed all the way when cold, then tighten it about 3/16 more. The chokes on marine engines will help start it when cold, but remember, they don't have a fast idle circut, you will have to advance the throttle to keep it running till it warms up(the button in the shifter). Starting procedure should be, spin it over a few times, pump the throttle three times(with out the engine spinning over), leave the throttle in the fast idle position(about 11:00), spin it over again till it fires, if it doesn't pump the throttle again three times, then spin it over. repeat process till it fires up, it will probably die off after the first tiem, just pump it twice and try again. Don't pump the throttle while the engine is spinning over, it will just flood the engine

A handful of guys have a naked bow and really like it.....I do like the look as well but not enough to remove my perfectly good bow rail....definitely and option to leave it off.

Congrats on the new boat and welcome to the site.

I've heard those motors are very efficient, but can't recall the exact numbers I've seen....try a search and see what you get.
