The previous solenoid was fairly new and this one is a new ARCO, what are the chances both are bad – .0001%? I was thinking possibly starter too, but only 5V out of the solenoid, with 1 year old, charged up batteries, 12.8V into the solenoid, .2 ohms on batt. cable to solenoid. I’ll bench test the solenoid and starter, check the grounds – but as usual, this is a baffling problem to me. Let’s say the starter is bad, would a good starter show 12.8V coming out of the solenoid (or close to 12.8V)? Starter condition doesn’t have anything to do with voltage out of the solenoid, right? This motor has been a little bit of a nightmare and someone told Anne that this age/model OMC could be problematic.
