Default weird solenoid chatter

gentelmen;

I turned the ign. on to check a problem and heard a noise under the hood.........
There is a relay on a bracket on the firewall directly in front of the driver seat. It was chattering and so was the carb. The carb is new?
Any ideas?

Model year? I'm guessing the chatter might be the seat belt warning buzzer, but that would have nothing to do with the carburetor.

Mike;
that's what I thought also............
Sorry I have been around forms to remember to include year/model. When I unplug the carb the clatter stops I looked over the wiring and I cant find anything out of order.

I quess that I need to order a schematic and go from there
