Re: solenoid issues
The coil runs on very low current but if left energized for say 5 minutes, would feel pretty warm. All it does is closes the big "switch".<br /><br />The big lugs carry 150 amps (on my 90 hp) from the battery to the starter motor. These have to be clean, smooth, and shiny or you will get some resistance. At 150 amps it doesn't take much resistance (crud) to "burn her up".<br /><br />Mark
