I can't find a replacement cold start solenoid. Is there somewhere that carries these for the old fords?
It's a Minimec injector pump with an electric solenoid.
When it is extremely cold I would like to have this option. This motor is not in a boat but it is the same ford motor and this site seems to be the best information resource for these old fords.
I contacted American Diesel and Brian said "they removed them from engines they worked on because you shouldn't need it.
Less than helpful!
I'm sure I wouldn't need it if the engine was newly rebuilt but it's not, nor is it worth rebuilding.
I would put a Wolverine Pan heater on it 1st. Simple process and should work great. I start cold, old, tired, diesels at 0 and below with just a heater plugged in overnight.
