Thread: electric choke conversion

Sorry I didn't get back to ya till now, use a 12 volt test light or volt meter and find the wire on the back of the alternator or ya could go to the voltage regulator and find the wire that is hot only with the engine running, hook your choke wire into that, be sure and not use a gasket on your new choke thermostat as it will need to make a ground on the choke housing, also you will need to look in the choke housing for a small hole, This was the vacume circuit for the old style choke, You need to plug this hole, a little J.B.Weld will work just fine. put your new elec .choke stat on, turn it counter clockwise will holding the throttle slightly open, turn it till it just closes the choke butterfly and lock it down, now hook a piece of vacume hose to the choke pull off and suck on it, it should crack the butterfly open about a 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch, you may have to bend the choke pulloff linkage to make any needed adjustment......adjust your fast idle screw so she idles about 1200 rpm and you should be set, choke should go full open in about 2 to 3 minutes with engine running.......
