I'm thinking of just dumping the mechanical choke and going with an electric one. Anyone have any tips or thoughts on if its the right way to go?

The rod connected to the spring moves the choke as the engine heats up. They sometimes do have some sort of an electrical connection hooked to them, but I have never really followed that wire to see what it does. Join the Penguin Liberation Front!!
