Reply to "Hooking up the electric choke."

You can't hook just any electric choke to the alternator. Electric chokes designed for connection to the alternator are designed to operate on 7 or 9 volts, I forget which at the moment. Other electric chokes are designed to operate on 12 volts. So where you source power to an electric choke is dependent upon how the manufacturer designed it.

The wire originally intended for the throttle solenoid is a popular source for 12 volt chokes, I personally prefer supplying the choke via addition of a relay and a fuse, just like the relay & fuse I prefer for the ignition.
