choke question
With an electric choke if you disconnect the power does it not engage or not disengage. My question is could you put a switch in the power line and turn off the choke in the summertime and back on in winter?
Thanks

Re: choke question
I just unplugged mine, but I had to wire it open ( nothing tested bad, it just didn't open all the way) during the summer, then reversed it for winter.

Re: choke question
It will still engage when unplugged/de-energized, but without power it will take longer to come off choke. The power wire helps to heat up the choke coil and open the butterfly faster. I would go manual choke rather than unplug an electric one.

Re: choke question
An electric choke will stay closed if it does not get power.

Re: choke question
You can adjust them for winter or summer by rotating the choke cover. This changes the amount of time that the choke stays closed. I change mine in the winter to stay closed longer.
