So a controller is available to lower current draw after choke is heated. That might extend the life of the element. My initial comment/question here was about current available at cold start. Even with the ballast resistor in line, brown wire supplying the coil in start, there is no diode at ballast resistor. Current is reduced as it travels opposite direction through resistor, into the blue wire and on to ignition module, charging system, and the electric choke. Without ballast resistor, blue and brown tied together, the draw through blue wire during start isn't reduced.
Please keep in mind that I don't have electric choke or any problems. Just pondering the problems a couple of members are dealing with recently.
