[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1394450, member: 91458"] I've done two CCS-100 installations, one on a Concours C10, the other on our VW Vanagon. The CCS-100 works [I]if[/I]... you add the vacuum reservoir. Without it, straight motor vacuum can drop to the point where the pneumatic actuator runs out of breath, if you will. The real deal reservoir, as opposed to a DIY, uses a check valve to keep the reservoir from emptying back into the plumbing. So... you need room for the actuator and the reservoir. Properly done, though, the thing works and works well. One big gotcha, resist the temptation to keep the beaded chain, between the throttle body and the actuator cable, close to taut!!! The motor warms up, the chain tugs on the throttle and vroom, vroom, vroom!!! A lot. DAMHIK Leave some obvious slack in the chain. All will be well, and the CCS-100 will do its magic. I'm a little surprised that nobody has mentioned the Rostra (AKA "Rasta") unit. It's electrical, not pneumatic. Its settings appear to be a bit more flexible. OK $260 V $180. User's choice. See both at murphskits.com DISCLAIMER: Got no skin in the game, just a happy customer. [/QUOTE]
