this is not a chat room or instant messaging site. post your question and wait for someone who is knowledgable in that area to read it and post a reply. it might take more than 5 minutes, but the advice is usually worth the wait.

The engine draws air thru the choke stove which heats up the air. The heated air is then drawn past the bimetallic spring in the choke which warms it up. As the spring warms up it opens the choke.

What type of carb do you have?

Some electric chokes are just an aux helper circuit for faster choke pull-off for emissions and require the choke stove. Some electrics are stand alone units.
