[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 93300, member: 26"] Mikorn, thx for all the feedback to the forum! I had an issue on my 863 with a wimpy fuel cutoff solenoid. Sometimes it would start, sometimes not. Always had good 12v to solenoid wires (used an insulation-piercing probe). Here's how I verified a wimpy solenoid: Had the wife crank it over when it wouldn't start. Whacked the solenoid housing with pliers and it started instantly. That was repeatable, and after 3 or 4 such events, replaced the solenoid assembly (15 year old grandkid did it, all by himself, his hands fit better in there anyhow). No repeat issues in the past hundred hours. :-) ---Bobbie G [/QUOTE]
