Sometimes it won`t start. Seeing the solenoid arm not pulling across. I pull it over by hand, the engine runs, and the solenoid arm stays where it should. Tired of visiting the ER to start it, I tried to buy a new solenoid but was told it is not available. Photo attached.
I`ve not yet dismantled it. Any tips on fixing it? Is a replacement available in USA?
(Importing parts from USA is often cheaper than buying here here,even with the freight for a Seakamp FL heat exchanger. A friend* imported Australian made "Ronstan"yacht parts, for much less than they cost* here, despite the return trip to USA!)
