Post Re: Electrical Accessories

Really , you should runa new wire from the unused accessory fuse in the fusebox to the choke heater ~ then use the lowest rated fuse you can that won't blow ~ probably a 10 A. one .

Every vehicle always has built in extra un used fuses for radios and other add ons , be smart and use them , do not overload the original wiring .

To properly set the choke , go out to the rig _early_ in the morning when it's cool out and the engine is stone cold , loosen the screws holding the choke element just until you can turn it by hand , open the throttle with one hand and whilst it's open , slowly turn the choke element until the choke butterfly *just* closes , DO NOT load it ! .

Now , snug up the choke screws and release the throttle & you're all done ! .

To cold start it , depress the throttle to the floor ONCE , release then crank it ~ never touch the throttle when operating the starter on a cold engine .
