Re: Backfire on 1988 Marathon...
Cap is labeled + -. Some just have a black line for neg -
Just connected it between the 2 field terminals on the solenoid.
Use a meter to determine + -
I think + lead to the micro switch but i am not sure if all are wired that way.
It just provides a few seconds of power to keep the solenoid on and is charged when the switch is activated.
Warning too big a cap can fry your micro switch by pulling too many amps at once.
This will also keep the solenoid on for a long time as it slowly discharges.
If you want you can add a small resistor in line on one cap terminal. This will slow charging and discharging. Play with different resistors to get it as slow as possible.
Cap i used, Wish i could remember the size. I sold my cart or i would go look.
Thinking back i think it was a little smaller about the size of a c battery.
