Does a DC Solenoid care which lead is attached to the battery, and which to starter? I couldn't see how it was attached to the frame do to the difficult place it was mounted, and (having removed it before I started the Adderall, I was still ate-up with ADD) I did not note or mark the orientation of the solenoid, or mark the wires. If it does matter, how can I determine which lead to connect where?
This is a Trombetta (no help on their site) 12 volt solenoid, two copper posts on top, one post on the base, plastic body, and an alloy base that bolts to the frame. It is a solenoid in the electronic ignition system for an old MTD (no help there either) lawn trackter. It starts an 11 & 1/2 hp Briggs & Stratton (no help there either) engine. Please contact me off-list. I have spent a week digging around for this information, of I wouldn't have spammed the list. I need to cut the grass and weeds, before it is too tall to cut without a swing blade. Thanks, and again, I appologize for bothering the list. [RANT you can disregard this rant about MTD, makers of Lawn Equipment] The jerks that designed my lawn trackter buried the solenoid way up inside the steel box frame, just under the seat, behind body braces, and the battery well. I had an inch and a half swing radius on a wrench I could hardly force into contact with the nuts I needed to remove. IF I EVER get my hands on the idiot that designed that setup, I am going to show him exactly where he can put a solenoid. ===== Warmest Regards, Doug Riddle An opptimist thinks the glass is half full.
