Choke Heating Element

  1. Disconnect only the battery voltage wire from the control switch (terminal is marked on switch). Connect an ohmmeter lead to choke housing or choke retainer screw.
  2. Touch other meter lead to a bare portion of choke wire connector at switch (not the battery voltage terminal).
  3. Electrical resistance of 4-12 ohms indicates the heating element is electrically functional. Only meter readings indicating an open or short circuit are cause for installation of a new choke assembly.
