Mercury 75HP made in 1986. The electric choke is a solenoid that magnetically draws up a little steel plunger linked to the butterflies. In trying to figure out why it's acting intermittantly, I want to trigger it with a remote button, the way I often jump other solenoids, like the starter or T/T. Weirdly, it only has one lead (yellow/black wire) going to it, and it's straight from the wiring harness. Is it grounded by the bolts attaching it to the block? How else would it be grounded?
And how can I test this solenoid to see if it's good? I want to "CLICK" it other than with the push-key. Replacing it is doable, but man, it will be a pain. The flywheel has to come off, the entire cowling, etc.
