Wiring Guidelines
Refer to the chart below to find the correct gauge size
and length of continuous wire for the white (pull-in)
wire, which connects to the solenoid wiring.

NOTE
14 gauge wire is required for the red (hold-in)
wire, which connects to the "Run" terminal on
the ignition switch.
NOTE
The black (ground) wire must be the same
size as the white (pull-in) wire.
Solenoid Resistance check
volt-ohmmeter. Check the solenoid resistance.

Solenoid Voltage Check
is with the wiring circuit to the solenoid.
To perform the solenoid voltage check, connect the
wiring harness and apply voltage to the solenoid with
the ignition key as follows:
1. With the key in the run position, check the voltage
hold-in.
2. With the shut down lever held in the shut down
position, move the key to the start position and
check the pull-in voltage.
