Default electric choke ?
just had my original Qjet (E4MC) rebuilt and had the choke changed from vacuum to electric. 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.
