    1975 Evinrude 115 HP - Choke question

    The Electric choke stopped working today on my 115 hp. Motor starts fine manually. Question is , can I test it using 12 volts or is that too much voltage for the solenoid. I figured I would remove it from the motor and test it first before I check wiring.
