Wot?

[Italianchefpasquale]

Here I am again with yet another question. Without sounding like an idiot what the heck is "WOT"? I see it a lot when I am surfing the forums and just wondered.<br /><br />Thanks, <br />Patrick

Re: Wot?

Not a dumb question - it's one of those common acronyms that plauge us:<br /><br />Wide<br />Open <br />Throttle<br /><br />That is to say, the accellerator set to "Full speed". If you look down the carburetor's throat at the throttle butterfly plate, you'll see why it's called WOT.<br /><br />Hope this helps!

Re: Wot?

Thanks Paul. I figured the "WO" was for wide open, but I couldn't seem to figure out what the "T" was for. OH well, too much time spent in the sun I guess....LOL

Re: Wot?

There is another acronym we used in the world of motorcycle racing. WFO. Stands for wide "frightening" open. or something like that
