Choke Heating Element

  1. Disconnect only the "B+" 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 "B+" 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.
