HELP!!!!! location of choke on 98 Force 50 hp

[dfris2003]

Help,, I had to put a new rings in my engine, and have the thing working well, the only problem, i cant find where the choke bolted on too.

Haha, I know thats stupid, but I cant remember, and cant find it in the manual where it bolts up to. It has short hoses, I now its close to the carb, but i dont see no screw hole for it.

Please help, a pic would be great, or detailed instructions where it goes.

Thanks
Daryl

Usually it's fastened under one of the bolts that hold the carburetor adapter in place. Number 4 in the diagram.

It's not super critical as to where and how you mount it as long as the wires and hoses are clear of any moving parts.

It would have been better if you had posted a pic of your carb and choke in question and we could just draw an arrow on it.

Be certain to re-use the rubber grommet. Failure to use it will cause the enrichening valve to bounce open and shut from engine vibration, affecting performance.

This is a 1998 75 hp.

Use a new grummet if the old one is worn. The worn grummet can allow the solenoid to touch the intake manifold and wear through the wires.
