They are actually called current limiting resistors. The fuel enrichment circuit choke is a coil that heats up a wax type material to extend a plunger(blocking off the extra fuel when warm). If you apply power to this coil without the current limiter, it will overheat and burn out the coil. The resistor sits between the choke and ground.
