[QUOTE="Sonny, post: 17437, member: 1904"] I disconnected the linkage arm to the solenoid. The spring in the solenoid seems to work fine, but the linkage arm wants to to stay vertical rather than [B]freely[/B] move to stop. I can manually turn it to stop, but it returns to the vertical psition when released. The linkage arm doesn't move when I turn the key on or off. However, I started it while the linkage arm was disconnectedand it ran fine. I only let it run a few seconds for fear of additional damage. [B]Would running it with the linkage disconnected cause any additional damage? (Like long enough to load it on a trailer) [/B]I turned the key off, but it didn't shut off until I manually moved the linkage arm to the stop position. The linkage arm moved more freely while the linkage arm was disconnected. The spring in the new solenoid didn't appear to move any during any this process, but I suspect that it should not have without the linkage arm connected.
