Might want to try testing the element with a meter, to make sure it's not open they get brittle with age, if its bad just tie the choke open, till you can replace it, so you can drive around without fouling plugs, etc., I put a manual choke on my 83 cause I had the stuff, hope this helps, Oh and by the way sometimes the old fuses, the glass ones, open up in an end and they still look good but aren't...

Perhaps you thought they were an underwear catalog?

 

Good point by Hattori

on the glass fuse idea.

Have seen this more than once.

 

This ignition switched medium current hot lead

MAY have an in line fuse under the dash?=> doubtful

 

Have you actually tested for power at the choke?

no doubt you have.

 

Some models did have a relay for the auto choke.

The power feed for these may be a fusible link.

Please test these.

 

bump for help from a real old schooler scholar

Found it. The fuse is behind the fuse block. Label on it, in English, too!

 

Right next to the fuel pump fuse. Thanks all for the help.
