Electric choke doesn't seem to work. First of all does anyone know if their is a fuse or a solenoid to activate the electric choke? and where it would be located?

Currently in order to start the motor I have to partially plug the carburetor with a towel in order to get it to start.

Also any idea if the problem might be in the ignition switch or in the motor?

Thanks any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated.
 
Does your motor have an actual choke on the carb or does it have an enricher valve that is electrically actuated?
My 97 merc 40 has an electric enricher that can be manually actuated by pushing up on the bottom of the valve with your finger if the electric solonid part does not work.
