Hi everyone,
a while ago I have wired the electric choke of my Edelbrock carb to the switched 12V of the ignition switch. Means the choke heats when the ignition comes on. This works, but if you leave the ignition on for some seconds, the choke begins to heat and to open. It is no problem when the engine is at temperature, but with a cold engine starting gets harder.
Normally, I think the choke has to be wired to the alternator in a way that it only gets heated when the engine is running and the alternator gives power.
Can somebody tell me which is the right terminal for this?
Thanks.
Michael
