Re: Choke Wire Size
I measured the resistance of the choke to be 10 ohms on my Demon carburetor. Therefore
using 13 volts, I get 1.3 amps of current.
13volts/10ohms=1.3 amps
Just to be on the conservative side, I used 2 amps on the table and went straight across.
Eighteen gauge wire should carry the current up to 25 feet. But I didn't buy wire for every
gauge. The smallest I have is 16 gauge, so that's what I used.
