Hot air choke conversion question

[jcondo]

I built a motor bout 20 years ago and just threw a random carb on it I had laying on the shelf. Now that my father is starting to use it more in the winter for plowing snow he is having issues with the choke when its cold out.
I took out the round hot air choke thermostat and replaced it with an electrical conversion kit he purchased. There were no instructions so I just kinda winged it. I used the key on power wire from his non exsiting ac plug but I don't think its closing and opening up correctly. Any tips or suggestions would be great.

Run a dedicated power wire to the + side on the coil and ground the coil to the carb body.
Did you get the coil hooked up to the choke arm inside correctly?
Did you plug the vacuum source inside the housing?
Did you cap off the barb on the front of the housing?

There is only 1 male spade wire connector on it, I put the power to that.
I figured the cap grounded to the housing.
Yes, the coil is hooked up with the arm inside end loop.
I did not plug the hole into the housing. I will tomorrow tho.
Yes, I plugged of the hose that used to go to the choke housing.

Thanks for the ideas tho geezer.

Are you saying you pulled power from the ac compressor plug? That does not have power all the time. As stated above, either pull power from the ignition coil or from key on power source.

So I moved the power wire to the wiper motor key on power and put a ground on like suggested.
I’m not sure I need the ground but I ran out of time to test without the ground, so it will have to wait till next week.
Thanks for the information and replies.
