We calculate the conductance of a chaotic electron billiard as a function of magnetic flux, channel number and transmission coefficients (TC). The latter describe the strength of the coupling between leads and billiard. Gating of either lead may reduce this strength. We find that outside the Coulomb blockade regime, the weak-localization curve (WLC) for the average conductance is always Lorentzian. Height and width of the Lorentzian depend sensitively upon the TC, especially in the case of asymmetric gating of the two leads. These predictions can be tested experimentally.
