The question is should the choke wire be that loose and the > generator light what sup with that. The proper wiring to the choke. The choke should have a brass male electrical connector sticking out from the choke cover. It is bent into a open z shape. The flat piece against the choke itself should have two rivets to secure it to the choke. The other end should sit away from the choke to allow a female connector to supply power from the coil connection. Anything else is inappropriate and potentially dangerous. If (as it sounds) the wire is attached directly to the choke, without the connector, this could be big trouble (as in fire). The wire to the choke is HOT electircally whenever the ignition is turned on. If that connection is not secure, you have a hot wire bouncing around your engine compartment. One little fuel leak and . . . . . . . . . BTW, Tim Dapper has (or had) chokes for 6V, drop him a line. - Jeff '67 Sqbk
