Sorry about the long winded post, set 'em up again Shirley while I
sit back in the corner, and admire my new spring.

Thanks for the second drink. Have one on the house.

Here'sa web page that may help you. It was put up by Donnie of H E D
fame. It's how he manages to make his solenoid work properly.

Thanks George.
I'll put that one away for future use. Oddly enough the Wrench at the
shop and I were talking about a set-up similiar to that one. Because
I didn't have the return spring, we were thinking that we could put a
bolt in the solenoid plunger, through the cover, a washer, a spring,
another washer, and voila. The plunger, theoretically should return.


You don't need anything nearly so complicated. My solenoid went
tits-up two years ago. I just drilled a hole in the cover, and when I
start the bike, I just push a thin screwdriver into the hole to push
the plunger a bit while I hit the starter button. It only needs that
little extra nudge.

If I'm riding in rain, I stick some gum in the hole.
