Having a problem with my choke light staying on (electric choke) and the idle is at 1000rpm even after warm up. I can disconnect the plug-in and the light will go out,but still have a high idle. Any thoughts on this?

Your choke coil may be melted, or otherwise damaged, keeping the fast idle cam engaged. You can remove the plastic coil/cover from the side of the carb and have a look-see. Most of the covers are riveted on, unless the carb has been re-built, and the rivets replaced with small Phillips-head screws.
The high idle is most likely due to the choke problem, so fixing the choke will also solve the high idle.

Sorry, man...I have to drive to work sometime...
