I took apart my evinrude power pilot remotes in an attempt to remove corrosion and give them a lick of paint. I have since given up on that idea but having put the control box back together, the toggle switch for the choke that sits beneath the ignition switch doesn't work.<br /><br />I took it all apart again thinking I had dislodged a wire but can't see anything untoward. When I flick that choke switch with the ignition on and the gear selector in neutral, I would normally hear the choke solonoid(?) kick in, but nothing happens.<br /> <br />Is there a simple test I can do to prove the switch is faulty, or not. Can I just short across the terminals at the back of the choke toggle switch to prove the switch is faulty?<br /> <br />Is there anything else that I could have disturbed in the control box that would prevent the choke toggle switch working?<br /> <br />I might add, the starter motor engages as normal.<br />Engine is an eninrude 70hp (1982).<br /><br />Thanks, Dave
