Electric choke
Anyone install a carb with electric choke? I need to find a wire in the engine compartment that is hot when the switch is on. (besides the obvious ignition wire). Anyone help?

I ran a new small fuse box that is powered from the starter post. The fuse box runs off a relay that is connected to the ignition so that it is only activated when the key is on. I also run my electric fans from that box.
