Bryan.. I bought a solinoid at NAPA.. it was a Standerd (Echlin?).. I've
got the part number at home which I can give you later if you need it.
Anyway.. I'm sure some on this board can tell you how to repair.. I
ended up just replacing.. about $40. Just occured to me.. I'm talking
Bosch though.. I'm guessing yours isn't?

| Tried to start my Ambo and it cranked a few times, but when I let go of the starter button it did not stop. Sounded as if the solenoid just kept activating then smoke came out of the starter. Now it just clicks when I hit the button. Took the starter motor apart and cleaned everything up, Put it back together and the starter activated just fine, even better than before. Then the same thing happened. I did not take the solenoid apart. It appears that there is a wire that is preventing that but with a little work could get it apart too. Any ideas. Bryan 71 Ambo |
