electric choke

Do yourself a favor and make it a hand choke rather than electric. On mine the electric choke opened way to fast resulting in being hard to start on occasions. Installing a manual choke cleared up the problem.

It would appear some engines, for whatever reason, simply do not respond as hoped from cold with an electric choke.
My engine runs well and I played around for some time with the electric choke and playing with a wide variety of cold start settings.
In the end, I resorted to what so many drag race guys do, I just disabled it and use good old fashioned pedal modulation for the first 3-4 minutes from cold.
Works quite well and it does'nt get any easier, frankly.

Thanks for the help on where to wire the choke, it is wired now and starts a hell of a lot better now that it works and it's getting colder out thanks again!
