Hey Guys,
I'm new to this forum. I have a 1976 18' galaxie jet crusier, with a AMC (which I believe is the same engine as Chrysler) 360 with a Maritec Panther360 jet.
Anyway, today we were doing some standard maintainence, replacing battery cables and such, and the solenoid broke into 2 pieces while I was trying to unhook a cable from it.
We went to the local Napa auto parts and bought a new solenoid for an automotive AMC 360 solenoid. It looked essentially the same, except it only had a hook-up for the "S" wire, not "I" like the old one did. Anyway, I hooked it up, turned the key, and the boat started right up, but the starter didnt stop spinning. I killed the motor right away, but the starter kept spinning.
What gives? Everytime I start, it never stops spinning. I know this is the new solenoid creating this problem. Maybe it was the automotive solenoid. Does anybody know where I could get a solenoid for this motor?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Adam
