Conditions may arise where the choke light stays on for some period of time after the engine is started. Engines affected are:

Other than the causes indicated in the service manuals for the light staying on, this condition can be the result of a choke heater relay that has too low of a drop out voltage causing the relay to stay energized and the light to stay on. Replacement of the relay with the service part will correct the condition.
