Ok cool just wanted to give you a heads up. Sounds like you did your homework check it when it arrives it should say 12V continuous.

Still no solenoid yet. I went ahead and sanded down the outside of the gas tank yesterday. I'm waiting on some phosphric acid to get some trace of rust on the inside of the tank out. Then I will paint the outside of the tank. I also went ahead and sanded down and painted the air filter cover. Here's a pic...

Trying to get the steering tiller off today. The serivce manual says that it should tap out after removing the bolt and washer. I have tried tapping it out to no prevail. Do I need a sterring wheel puller or just put some more musle into it?

Hello all need some help,
So I got the solenoid in today. I installed it and pressed down on the gas peadal and the cart started up. I was on cloud nine!!! After pressing down the pedal to the floor for awhile I forgot to close the choke and bogged out the engine. I let it sit for a little bit and went back to start it. This time it did not start. There was no noise from starter or engine also no solenoid click. I went out and bought a new battery to confirm it wasn't that either. I'm thinking micro switch or fwr\rv switch. Does anyone have any ideas. Needless to say i am not on cloud nine anymore.

Do you have a volt/ohm meter? Ground the - lead and check for voltage at the small post an the solenoid with pedal depressed. If you find 12v then the mirco is ok and the f/r switch needs to be in ether f or r of course. It may be that the f/r selector is dirty and you may try brake cleaner or contact cleaner moving it F-R then blow it out with compressed air. May take a few times. Let us know

check the main ciciut breaker under the body surrport. its the small wire from the soiliniod thenit sounds power to the micro/ign switch. see if you have pwer to the soiloid. if power goes in, you can simpley jump the wire from big post to big post. and see what that does.

So I just placed a wire from the big post to big post on the selonoid and it started cranking the starter generator. Did the same thing with the small post next to the first big post and that started the starter and engine. I pressed down the gas and everything seemed to work although the engine does start without pressing the gas which is weird. So what does this all this mean?

Ok Thanks! Thats what I was thinking since the engine started without hitting the pedal. It does move freely and clicks when relased. I'm thinking I need a new one then right? I found one at vintage parts for $13.45 plus shipping(OEM part #71506-63). Can something like this be picked up at an auto store? I also took apart and cleaned the frw/rv switch. I was pretty gunked up in there but the connections and springs all seemed good. Also is the could the micro switch issue be why my cart isn't starting in the normal way
