By pass auto choke what wire?

Hi I am restoring a 1964 3.4 now 3.8 still on twin HD6 I have done away with the thermo for the auto choke switch . fitted a blanking plate I now just want to fit a manual switch but which wire ? I have green and green with a black trace with power it seems coming from brake light switch? Can anyone help I’m a bit confused ( doesn’t take much ) I just want manual operation with a warning light many thanks Mick

The otter switch acts as a ground for the starting carburetor solenoid, ergo you replace the wire that went from the otter to the solenoid with a manual switch that goes to ground. It doesn’t matter which side of the solenoid that new wire goes to so long as the power wire goes to the other side.

And always good to have a switch with a warning lamp so one does not leave the hisser on for longer than necessary.

I’ve added a lighted push button for mine.


Excellent very good idea :+1: thanks
