Alternator - Replacement Precautions
Article No. 85-12-24RICH MIXTURE - CHOKE DOES NOT OPEN - ELECTRIC CHOKE CONNECTION TO NON-OEM ALTERNATOR
LIGHT TRUCK ALL SERIES
Replacement of the OEM alternator to accomodate higher current requirements of vehicle-mounted electrical equipment may adversely affect the operation of the electric choke on those vehicles so equipped. For this reason, it is important to examine the electrical system on a subject vehicle to determine if an electric choke is connected to the OEM alternator stator terminal. If there is such a connection, a similar connection must be provided on the replacement alternator.
Contact the manufacturer of the replacement alternator to determine the correct method of connecting to the alternator stator.
