He did say it "pulled in & ran starter", so sounds like big honkin battery cable connected & I can not imagine that little finger inside that picks up power for the "I" terminal, not being instantly vaporized when he engaged with "I" grounded. Just can't see it pulling down battery enough to release solenoid....something somewhere should have produced smoke. In less than a minute in either of our hands, we would know what solenoid he has...or had...but he may never know. Especially now! I just stepped into this affair to prevent archives from recording that 311006 was not same as ST-542. :roll: [Reply]  [No Email]

I agree hard to say, other than it's not behaving right. [Reply]  [No Email]
