" My starter solenoid crapped
" My starter solenoid crapped out on saturday night, as I was flushing the engine. Was heading out again Sunday morning and in a pinch, retro-fitted an automotive starter solenoid in it's place. Later looking at a couple manuals (totally different engines) I found they were filled with warnings about using automotive solenoids and I don't really understand what the problem is. The only real difference is what I have has an "I" terminal, which routes power from the signal terminal, and is unused and that it grounds by the base and not a post. The two circuits are isolated... does anyone know what gives? I'm thinking mabye it's idiot-proofing for when someone connects that "I" to ground?
