Mumbles could you do an actual current draw … in series…. measurement of that coil under a 6 volt supply.
at .9 ohm coil resistance with a 6volt supply would draw 6.6 amps…. seems like a lot ..maybe
Sorry, I’m not set up for six volts so I can’t do that test. 😥
It was mentioned in Dockside that the solenoids draw .3 amps but that might be for a 12 volt one.

The solenoid in the pictures is probably OK as there is a metal cap on the end of them and no electrical connection at this end. I’m thinking the solenoid wasn’t positioned properly and the choke linkage may have been hitting it putting a dent in the insulating or sealing material on it.
