attached multimeter to negative cable and to negative post. Key off no reading whatsoever. When i turn the headlights on, i can see its drawing power (that was my test to ensure multimeter was working). When I turn the key on, i can see power being pulled. key off, no reading on meter.
Im stumped. Im now questioning whether or not the actual electric choke is now faulting-since something was obviously draining the battery before.

If there is no drain, as evidenced by your test, it's possible the battery is not holding a charge (bad battery). According to your test, the choke element is not your problem. Here's one last test.. Slow charge the battery for a few hours.. Leave the cables disconnected and let it set overnight.. If the battery is low the next day, the battery is bad.. If it held it's charge, your drain test is somehow flawed...
