Re: Choke wire?

It uses a thermostatic coil mounted on the intake manifold with a rod that runs up to the choke linkage. As the engine warms up, the coil winds up and opens the choke. When the engine cools down, the coil unwinds and closes the choke. It will also have a vacuum pull-off to open the choke slightly after startup to keep the engine from flooding.
