July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Throttle Valve Lift

Throttle valves will be slightly opened by vacuum governor on carburetor when engine is coasting with oil temperature over 62°F, engine speed in excess of 2000 RPM and coolant temperature below 212°F. Whenever governor is not subjected to vacuum, throttles will be held slightly open. Whenever switch-over valve is deactivated, vacuum will be supplied to governor and throttle valve will return to idle position. This will occur under the following conditions: Below 62°F oil temperature, oil temperature switch will close. Above 212°F coolant temperature, coolant temperature switch will close. With engine speed below 1800 RPM, RPM switch will open.
