Hi guys,i have question,about how the the choke get power...I mean i tested on the muiltmeter and show it goes up and down,each time i throttle the gas,theres no set volt to it..I thought it would be a straight 12 volt to it.....Is this right,i heard something about it being connected to the stator?...It take ages for it to clam down when you throttle it..

All auto chokes are A/C powerd, this varies with engine rpm, so when riding at a steady speed, the voltage will be stable as the voltage regulator will have topped off voltage ! Chokes take around 5 mins to be fully off.
