Choke not opening help!

I've done a resistance check on the choke coil , its all within specs... I then did a power test to see if it was receiving voltage, there is no voltage reading from the terminal.. I've checked all fuses in the dash, tested voltage with the engine running , and with only the ignition switch on.. Has anyone else had any similiar problems ? Could it be a fusible link somewhere ?

Thanks for your time

I think the choke gets its power from the coil.

Sorry to hi-jack, but where did you get this kit? I've been looking for one for mine for a while, ever since the spring went sproing and I had to jury rig a pen spring.

I finally found the problem , it was the charge light relay, replaced it, sensor & charger light is off and choke now opens.
