Thanks.... wires should be same. odds of the same bad connection being the issue is low since I had replaced both the solenoid and the connector plug. I figured it's the voltage regulator perhaps. ordered a new one just for good measure.
By the way, could someone please advise on where the voltage regulator is? Under the tank? On Fri, 22 Feb 2019, 2:58 PM Darin Hatton, <[email protected]> wrote: > Follow kyles installation tips.
