Run the purple wire to the plus side, and the black wire to a ground. All it does is heat an element that then slowly opens the choke as it warms/the motor runs.
By the way, if that choke is replacing a divorced choke that gets it heat by being connected to the intake manifold, there should be a hole left in the side of the carburetor by removing the previous style of choke. Plug the hole with a screw and some threadlocker, other wise it's a constant vacuum leak and affects carb behavior.
