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 ohmmeter lead to a bare portion of choke wire connector at switch (not B+ terminal). An ohmmeter reading of 4-12 ohms indicates heater is okay. If ohmmeter indicates an open or short circuit, replace choke assembly.
    NOTE: Heater element must not be immersed in any fluid, as an electrical short to choke heater is also a short circuit to ignition system.
