Electric Choke on Carter AFB

Still alittle wram in Texas huh?

Once you depress the gas pedal, it should set. Not just when the key is on.
When the key is on, the electric current warms the choke to open it. Not close it.
If it is to cold outside, the cool air will close the choke because of the inner bi-metal springs.

Just make sure the wire is only "Hot" when the key is in the run position. (Hot in th start position is OK as well.) And off with the key out. Also not hot when the key is turned backwards to the Acc. spot.
