Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
Has anyone updated to the Edelbrock Marine Carbs? If so what was your solution for the hot wire? The Edelbrock info says don't use the coil or alternator.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
A lot of people have hooked it up to the + on the coil or the alt. If It was mine I would find a 12-volt ignition feed. You did not say what engine you had.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
I'd rather not go to the positive coil side or the alternator. Trying to figure out an ignition feed connection.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
12-volt power on the ballast resistor.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
Thats a great idea ! I didnt think of that. Ill give it a try. Thanks
Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
Im thinking of creating a fused relay swith to power the choke from the starter solenoid.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
It does not show the solenoid wiring, But I believe the terminal you're using to activate the relay goes to the + side of the coil. Full 12 volts cranking, lower voltage running as it feeds from the coil after the ballast resistor. Will the lower voltage keep the relay on? Would the relay draw much less than the choke coil heater? I don't know but I bet it's close.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
I converted my 1982 F26 318 to Edelbrock 1409 w/electrick choke. Hooked up to positive ballast resistor (top right side of ballast viewed from aft). This is a consistent 12V while key is on.

Re: Edelbrock Carb Choke Wiring
So I built two harnessees based on the photos I attached for the chokes and they worked great !
