Okay, I found some things with springs under the cover of the tnt motor. Are these the solenoids?

The T/T relays are located under the engine cover.Look for two side by side 1 - 1/2" cubes on the starboard side of the engine.

Thanks, OB.<br /><br />We found them inside the top cover of the tnt motor of all places. One wire was nearly burned thru. Cleaned and resoldered broken wire and it works like a champ!

tbone....I think what you found was either the brushes or the thermal cut out. If the wire was burned off, you might consider cleaning the motor stator commutator for better contact with the brushes.
