Default Shoke corvette 1980 HS ?

Hello

I have a problem with my automatic choke.
It does not work because it is probably badly adjusted.
The white wire is ok, it has good 12V

When I test it live with a + 12V and a ground wire, it does not work.
Is this normal?
--------------------
J'ai un problème avec mon starter automatique.
Il ne fonctionne pas car il est sans doute mal réglé.
Le fil blanc est ok, il a bien du 12V

Quand je le test en direct avec un + 12V et un fil masse, il ne s'actionne pas.
Est-ce normal ?

With 12 volts and a ground, it should work.
Might be time for a new one.

like already said, with voltage hooked to the coil/choke it should move.
be happy you get the proper voltage.
time for a new one.
