afb question.. . .. .
How can I test the electric choke on my 1406? Is there a spec I can check for with my dvom? If my choke is bad, can I use a choke from a conversion kit for a manual choke afb? Thanks for any help.

Just run a jumper from + post of battery to + terminal of choke--watch to see if choke blade starts to open after a few seconds--if working ok it will open all the way. Should work ok on 2nd ?.

I was assuming the engine is cold for the test.

The problem is that I think it was draining my battery.

You must have it hooked to something that is hot all the time. Use a test light and with switch off see if you are getting power to + terimnal. If so change the source to one with power with switch on only.

Jason, if it was hooked straight to the battery, then it probably was killing it.
hook it to IGN UNFUSED |
