I believe that, at least back when electric chokes were first becoming
popular, the power feed to the choke heater came off of the alternator
output tap, so that the choke *only* got power when the engine was
actually running.
This was to prevent the situation where an "On" ignition key would
power up the choke heater *before* the engine was started, thus giving
a non functioning fully open choke while engine itself was still cold
and needed the full choke operation.
