Our Delta Nymph has now gone to a new home, unfortunately whilst demonstrating the lovely little 18HP rude in a bin we operated the choke solenoid a few times perfectly...................then the dash switch melted and all was not well. Testing proved the choke solenoid seems to have gone short circuit!
The new custodian is known to me so is happy enough using the manual choke but I would like to locate another solenoid.
Does anybody have a solenoid lurking for one of these? its a 1967 fast twin........same as johnson 18's too and probably a lot of other jonny/rude motors.
Wonder if the old stock from Mike Cripps at Redline marine Abingdon included such............ Moonman appears to have had some of his stock that may contain such. see the cmba thread that refers. ( I found it by web search redline marine Abingdon) hope helps Kgarla
Thanks, I will keep looking............it is odd to have gone short circuit, my experience of solenoids is usually open circuit/not working at all. I will look at this one incase it is something simple broken down like the plastic insulator on the hot connector terminal.
It worked fine a few times on demo then.....shorted and took out the dash switch too!
