Starter interrupted by choke

[dave0120]

When starting my force 125 when I push in the to activate the choke the choke engages and stops the engine from cranking. And if I push in on the key first the starter won’t function. Why is the choke interfering with the starter

My force 125 has started a new issue. When starting if I push the key in to engage the electric choke the starter will not crank , and while I am cranking the engine the choke won’t engage.

Cute new title, there are two issues. You duplicated the original post and you haven't read our rules.

Hookup a meter to the choke and see what the voltage does when the choke button is pressed.

Voltage goes to 12 when the key is pushed. I’m sorry About the dbl post , when I 1st did it I got a message that there was a problem and it could not be posted.

If I am cranking the engine and push the key in I get no voltage at all

What is the voltage before the key pushed?

What is the voltage before the key pushed?it’s like 7 volts

I took the choke off the ignition switch and put it on a separate switch and they both function properly. Wouldn’t that point toward a issue with the ignition switch?

Did the motor start with the choke on a separate switch?

Key switch.

 

[dave0120]

Key switch.

Yes it did start

It's the switch wiring or the switch it self.

I’ll check that switch wiring and to see if maybe it got jumbled up during replacement last year. Thanks for all your help.
