Is this my throttle kickdown switch? & 2 others
Hi there,
I think my throttle kick down switch casing is broken and needs to be replaced. I also noticed the blue wired gizmo looks like it needs to be replaced as well. It's wires look a bit cooked. And... the third bit hangs just below the throttle assembly toward the back of the motor - has a couple loose ends - should I fret where to connect them to?What are they?

Both do the same job.....enrich the mixture about 10-13%..... but differently.
#1 is mechanically operated off the throttle capstan. #2 is vacuum operated. It's just a redundant arrangement.
