be de-energized after a few seconds to keep it from being damaged. The pull-in coil is controlled
by the microprocessor through the fuel solenoid pull in relay (K6).

Fuel Solenoid
Testing the Fuel Solenoid
If you suspect that the engine does not run because the fuel solenoid is not operating correctly,
use the following procedure:
1. Measure battery voltage.
a. With engine and controller off, check the voltage between the positive and negative
battery terminals. If the voltage is below 12.2 Vdc, the battery needs to be charged or
replaced.
2. Remove the fuel solenoid from the engine and disconnect it from the wire harness.
3. Check the resistance of the hold-in coil.
a. Check the resistance of your meter leads first. Subtract these values from the resistance
values you measure.
b. Check the hold-in coil resistance between pins A and C as shown (
).
c. The resistance of the hold-in coil should be 22 to 27 ohms at 76 F (24 C).

possible to measure at room temperature, use the following table as a guide for the
expected resistance:

d. If the resistance is out of specifications, proceed to “Fuel Solenoid Replacement” (below).
If the resistance is OK, continue to step 4.
