Connecting the electric choke to the other side of the ballast resistor from the coil should give 12 (12-14) volts. The ballast resistor is there to reduce the volatge to the coil. You need less voltage at the coil at low RPM vs. high RPM. However in the initial cranking mode the ballast resistor is bypassed so the coil gets maximum voltage to get the engine fired up.

the + side of the coil doesn't get 12 volts,
not really a good place for the electric choke.
