This is the info I found on the net. Interesting...........Terry
Electric choke.
Configure it as follows:
•Get a Relay, hook the coil up to a Switched , fused source,
•The ground to a hard ground observing good bonding practices.
•The Normally Open contact of the relay to go to the Alternator FIELD wire.
•The center wiper of the relay to the choke heater element.
In this mode of operation ,the choke element only receives power and
opens when the engine is ACTUALLY running..not while you wipe down or
scrape ice from windows with the key on and not running..
An added unplanned benefit is when the diodes in the alternator start
to break down, the relay coil will buzz..lke a mini shaver..alerting
you that something is wrong in the charging system, long before the
battery starts to die out every morning.
