Choke/Alt Light

Ok, I'll share my stupidity. After some Holley carb work and with the motor running, I realized the 12V choke wire wasn't connected. After connection the light popped on and the buzzing started. Blown C/H fuse or something more serious?

Re: Choke/Alt Light

it's a super simple circuit. probably shorted the wire to ground somehow. blew the fuse.

my bet anyway

Yep. Fuse. There's an old saying about getting wiser with age—I didn't get the memo
