Hi Sixgun2.<br /> You can just use the manual choke. I haven't found many problems with the selenoid itself. its just an electro magnet deal. Sometimes the plunger gets stuck. Also check wiring and switch. Good luck.

Ewww, yea. I'd would stay away from the local place..Far away. Not only can you use the manual choke, but even if you can't find one from that vintage/make, you might find one tha will werk from another maker. Some will interchange.<br />Some places to check;<br /> http://www.charliesusedparts.com/<br /><br /> http://www.g-gmarine.com/
