Yep went to wrecking yard got a door lock actuator get 2 have a spare according to the motor have to figure out all the hook up and springs.

 

I thought about a door lock.

 

I got a choke solenoid off of an old yamaha outboard. Works perfect. Hooked to key wire on solenoid on the fan motor.

 

Got any pictures?

 

unless it was same engine as yours probably wouldn,t help much if I remember think I took the actuator and held it where it could push the choke and visualize what bracket would have to build to mount and pin to the choke .my engine was Honda v-twin.

 

I went to a boat bone yard and bought an electric choke solenoid off a 6 hp evenrude.it works perfect.has a 1 inch throw,and easy to mount.just make a mount that fits the solenoid.....use existing hardware placement.and make an offset rod or aluminum plate.

 

I found a door popper solenoid from speedway with a 1 1/4" pull spring return I think I'm going to try.

 

Part number? I'm thinking about trying this out

 

speedway, amazon, e-bay they all have them. I like the looks and specs. of the SPAL SIL 40K solenoid the best. Cost is higher than others I found but hopefully it means it'll last longer.
