Electric choke

Post by OldRedFord »

What color wire would have fed the electric choke on a carb? Or where should power come from for an electric choke?

I bet its in the wiring diagrams but I might have missed it.

Thanks.

I added a a red wire because it is a hot wire.
I used this to jumper off a glass fuse at the fuse block, in stock at a local NAPA store:

I also added a common blade type fuse with spade connectors inline just after the fuse block tap.
