Choke Heating Element Test

  1. Disconnect only the B+ wire at the control switch. Connect an ohmmeter lead to the choke housing or choke retainer screw.
  2. Touch other meter lead to a bare portion of choke wire connector at switch (not B+ terminal). A meter reading of 4 to 12 ohms indicates heater is electrically functional. If circuit is open or shorted, install a new choke assembly.
NOTE: Never immerse heater element in any fluid, as an electrical short to the choke heater is also a short circuit to the ignition system.
