Perkins 6.354 starter solenoid

When it rains, it pours!

We just got our fuel tanks in and the engines ran for the first time in two months. Now it appears that the marina guys slopped 'barnacle buster' all over the engine's relays and starter solenoid. I've cleaned everything I could see, got the corrosion off of connections, replaced the relays, disassembled the starter solenoid and cleaned the internal connections. They were burned. I got several cranks and one 'almost start' before its performance dropped back to no cranking. Gotta' find a new solenoid.

Where? How do I find a part number? I've got the parts manuals but they don't include the solenoid(!).
