im guessing the answer will be "how long is a piece of string"

my zook came with 1 switch that controls the thermo fan installed in front of the rad and then this random ass switch you press the button and its red for off green for on, i for the life of me still cannot workout what its doing i will try trace the cable tomorrow, could it be some kind of electric choke ? i have a weber carby.

Looks like a generic driving light switch that comes on a pre made loom

Chinese copy of the 1990’s IPF driving light loom. Or are you asking about the rear demister switch?

ok so its a lighting loom probably for the spotties that where on the bullbar at some stage.

i have an idle issue, weber carby, have to hold revs myself for 10 15 secs to keep the car running until it warms up enough to keep it self idling or it dies also turns it self off when coming to a stop sometimes. it will idle away happily at about 1000rpm when its not going anywhere and when driving it feels strong and healthy. my last carby car was a falcon in a long long time ago. my mechanic is really good with webers and carbys so ill get him to have a look at it when it does the roady on it.

im guessing its going to be something like a screw setting in the carby somewhere i just dont know enough about them to try messing with it. or a dirty auto choke thing ?

Weber info:

You might have a slightly different setup or choke mechanism but the tuning principles should be the same or similar. Last part of the post is tuning
