Ok, for disclaimers, I acknowledge searching for a answer to this question and have met with negative results.
Also, I am gonna grab my multi-meter and yank the solenoid to perform an electrical test, HOWEVER, I gotta ask a question that seems to be absent on the SDF.
Every Thread dealing with solenoid (starter relay) problems always state "listen for the click," then if the click is heard, AND, a properly charged battery is in the PWC, one can deduce that the problem lies with the solenoid; easy as that!
My question is:1) what if no click is heard; 2) the PWC has a 12.5 battery; 3) when shorting the solenoid/battery posts the PWC cranks over, can it also be deduced that the solenoid is toast?
Or, can it be something else? If so, what else?
I ask this question because more often than not, although we may have a tool box handy when we are out Jet Skiing, or Sea Dooin, or Wave Runnin, we may not have a multi meter with us, so, having an answer to this question on the SDF may keep us in the water with minimum down time.
Come on Lou, albeit your tour of duty was on a ship and this old GI carried a 45 while keeping the streets safe in Saigon, give this old man a hand. :drool5:
