I wanted to get input for the following issue with my starboard engine. I recentl had the alternator rebuilt.
I have an on/off key with a push start button at the helm.
With the engine not running and when I turn the key on the power goes to the screw in type fuel solenoid and retracts the internal plunger.I get a good reading of 12v.
With the engine not running and when I turn the key off the fuel solenoid shuts off and I get no 12v reading.
Here is the kerfufffle.
When I start the engine and have it running, then shut the key off the engine does not stop or shut off. I have a reading of 12v at the fuel solenoid with the key in the off position.
If I unplug the fuel solenoid the engine shut off. Hence the fuel solenoid is not sticking. I have looked for a plug in diode but do not see one in the wiring harness
These are 1988 cummins 6bt.
Help!!!
