The electric choke needs a full 12 volts to operate properly. The old coil wires have a built in resistance to reduce voltage to 9 volts to protect the coil windings. A common source often used for the choke wiring is the hot wire to the wiper motor. Any key on 12 volt source is good but I would run a fuse in the circuit.
