12 volt wire
Where is a good source to hook to a 12 volt source for the electric choke, tach, and a radio? I am looking to hook it up behind the ignition switch.


Any on have any ideas?

Connect the radio to ACC so it will run with the switch to the left also. The choke and tach connect to ignition so they are only powered when the switch is in run position.

that sounds fine but be sure not to overload the circuit, some people hook up like 10 things to one source.
