Leave it unplugged, there are many of them running around without them hooked up because the wires broke at the heater.
Relheok, I'll see if I can find something that can explain it better than me but ya, it's a little heating element in the front of the carb that is suppose to aid it in cold weather riding. I've never noticed a difference though with them working or not. |
