The only issue, which John has brought up, is that the existing wiring for the lights may be too small of gauge to use for DC. Originally, the headlight was on AC which allows for a smaller gauge wire. Now that I am switching everything over to DC, this wiring may been to be upgraded.
If that is the case, I'll be performing surgery so I might as well hook up the enricher to the white wire.
I'm curious how the enricher works and how a different voltage will effect it...anyone? I assume the amount of time the enricher is engaged will vary depending on the input voltage.

Pretty simple. So, with a lower voltage, it will take longer for the element to heat up and the plunger to extend. The difference probably isn't significant.

Scooter Enricher(Choke) and how it works. The Default of the Enricher(Choke) on a Scoot is the Plunger is Retracted when Cold. Once you start the Engine it receives Voltage and starts to Heat up the Element inside and the Plunger starts to Extend out to shut off the Extra fuel from coming in. It takes about 2-3 minutes for it to fully extend and it extends about 1/4 inch. Once fully Extended it completely blocks the fuel opening and no more extra fuel is feed to the engine. Once you shut the engine off the Plunger will Retract as it cools and it will be ready for the next cold start to allow extra fuel to the engine.
