Rebuilt the carb over the weekend, piece of cake actually, runs like a champ now. However, the electric choke isn't hooked up, and I'd like it to be. My question is I have two tabs, one marked positive which is the power and another marked Lean? I thought these were already grounded, so I dont know what this Lean tab is for. Any suggestions? And yes I hate electrical work, hence the question.

The choke housing consists of a positive and negitive connection. The lean and richer markings have nothing to do with the electrical connections. The lean and rich indication mean that if you loosen the black plastic housing and rotate it to the lean direction the choke will come off faster vs. the rich direction will let the choke stay on longer. The negitive terminal on the choke housing will need to be grounded at the closest ground available, usally under the lowest choke housing screw will do fine.
