Re: Testing Electric CHoke

Mine was a problem in the male connector of the big remote control harness. Put a meter on the grey wire where it connects to the solenoid, if there's no power, check continuity between motor side of remote connector and solenoid post (it's probably fine.) CHeck power at connector then slice open remote harness and see if there's power to grey wire just before connector.
