kgrantkey Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Can you run switched 12v to the carb choke? Does it need a balast resistor? After a few minutes when the choke is full open, does the voltage change? Relay close (or open) and remove the 12v? What should be the current drain? Is it Voltage / resistance to figure the current drain? I'm having problems with my Electric choke relay and currently have my original carb on my L20b so i can pump gas into it for starting. The choke is set open. The original carb has really good accelerator pump so a few pumps on the gass and it starts right up. I have a bigger carb that doesn't pump large amounts (compared to the stock carb) of gas so it really needs the choke ckt to work. I would like to put it back on the truck (78 620) and run ignition battery to it until i get my voltage regulator/choke relay straightened out. Is the resistance in the choke enough to have 12v to it at all time while running? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yes we run 12v from the ballast hot side. It doesnt switch off when warm. Quote Link to comment
