Choke Question

My choke does not stay out. Is there anyway to correct this aside from using a wooden spacer to pull the choke out.

the choke is partially electric. if the electrical part is faulty, it will not work for obvous reasons. you can pull it out of the dash and make sure it is hooked up and plugged in.

If the electrical part is bad I have one for you that works fine. I just converted to a FI Turbo set up and i do not need it anymore.

Check your fuses too.

Fixed my choke. Turns out the blask plastic cover had shattered off at the screws. Too much pressure I guess. I used some zap straps to hold the cover back on. Fixed, firm and solid!
