New use for battery sense wire.

[saddlebum]

I very seldom use the choke to get my bike fired up but on the occasions that I do, I usually forget to take it back off. On one occasion I rode all the way from Woodstock to Burlington with the choke partially on. Well since I no longer use the sense wire for the battery because I have a Decca battery and the wire is currently connected to my ACC terminal to keep the light off, I came up with the idea of mounting a micro switch close to the choke linkage at the carbs then run the wire to the switch and from the switch to the ACC terminal. This way anytime the battery indicator and light are on I will know The idiot behind the handle bar is running with his choke on.:whistling:

That's a real good idea for the idiots among us. This idiot is gonna get started doing same thing.....or something similar with that unused sensor circuit. Maybe a pressure switch in the passenger seat...... to let me know if she's not there..........

At least the idiot behind the handle bar still has a brain that is working. Clever idea Ben for guys like us who are susceptible to forgetting the choke is on.
