Re: electric choke

The wire fronm the solinoid should be joined at a insulated block not grounded, also the solinoid body should have a ground wire from one of the mounting bolts to one of the bolts that hold the spark advance bracket to the block--Bob

Re: electric choke

the post on sol is also grounded without wire attached, even thou it works with a jumper does this mean sol is bad
