    Intermittent Start Issue

    Helpful article. In the article where post are labeled are those standard designation on the solenoid itself? I assume when jumpering the two larger terminals at the top? Thanks again

    Intermittent Start Issue

    Is it safe to assume because I am hearing the click, it is not the throttle neutral switch? I suppose I could test at the wiring harness to make sure I see 12 V from there.

    Bunk lag bolts
