Hmmm, my electric choke always worked just fine. Although it needed ajustment on a regular basis. I ajusted it to a happy medium before I sold it. BTW that Carter elect fuel pump I put on worked real good. Make sure you get a good electric though, only Danwheeler has any good luck w/ cheap pumps. I went through 4 Posi flo pumps (1yr warr) under warranty before I got the bit more expensive Carter. (Lifetime Warranty)
