IMPORTANT!
If the stop solenoid for any reason has been dismantled, it
should be refitted in following way:
Move the lever "A" by hand until it rests against the screw
"C". Press the stop solenoid plunger fully until it "BOTTOMS".
Secure the screw "D" in this position.
Check the function by pressing the stop button. It is very
important that the stop solenoid plunger is completely home,
otherwise the pull coil fails to be unswitched, and the fuse
may blow.
If the stop solenoid fails to work, although the fuse is
reset, the reason may be loose or defect wire connections or a
faulty internal switch in stop solenoid.
Check the connections. If the connections are in good order,
the internal switch may be sticking or corroded.
It may be a good remedy to remove the stop solenoid plunger
and spray some contact cleaner (f.inst. crc 2-26) against the
bottom. The nylon switch pin should be loose in its bore.
If the stop solenoid still does not work, try to interconnect
the + terminal and the aux. terminal by means of a piece of
wire. See fig. 14. When doing so, the pull coil is always
energised as long as the stop button is pressed. If the stop
button is pressed for more than 4 seconds, the fuse may blow,
but usually 4 seconds should be adequate to stop the engine.
If the fuse should blow , the stop solenoid should be allowed
to cool down for some time before resetting the fuse.
If everything fails, the engine is stopped manually by moving
the lever "A" fully anticlockwise until the engine stops, and
so fully clockwise again to reset in start position.
A new stop solenoid should be ordered for replacement.
