Qjet service manual says on the E4ME the "current to the thermostatic choke coil is uspplied through the oil pressure switch ...." I do not see anywhere to attach a wire to the choke. ??????????? LARS or anyone please help !!!

I wired mine to the ACC terminal on the fuse block. You can also wire it to the wiper motor or any other Key-on device.

You should have an electrical spade connector in the new cover and a plug at the end of the wire.

Mine has a single male spade terminal on the choke housing cover.
