    choke me

    I have a Johnson Fast Strike 150hp model#J150GLEIS, SN#G02634457. The question is, I know you have to push it in to choke the motor but how does it actually make the choke work? Thanks again for all the help it is really appreciated.

    The key cylinder has a additional circuit for push to choke which applies power to the choke selonoid. It is a spring loaded open seloniod which closes when you "push to choke" and apply power to said selonoid. Release power and spring loads back open I think

    Your engine uses a primer solenoid instead of a choke solenoid. The primer is teed into the fuel line between the fuel pump and the carbs.
    When you prime the bulb and or when the engine is running or cranking the primer solenoid has fuel pressure available.
    When you have the key turned to on, then you push the key IN, the primer solenoid is activated and injects some additional fuel into each carb. Kinda like a water pistol squirting. This provides some additional fuel that is necessary to start a cold engine the first time of the day.

    Thanks to both helps me understand how it works. sounds like you could flood it real easy. Is there a way to see if the fuel is squirting in when the switch is pushed in? The reason I'm asking after I tightened some wires on the ignition switch I broke it the switch while tightening it back into the dash , the threaded part broke. I glued it back together and the switch still pushed in.

    You'll be lucky if it lasts. Be thinking about a new switch. .

    I figured it would be a very temporary fix. Any suggestions on where to get a new switch, I was looking on e-boats .com.
