    RTV900R shutoff

    The new solenoid was installed and RTV still wouldn't stop. However it tried to cut off. Fortunately, the solenoid has slotted mounting holes and after some trial and error was able to find the sweet spot and all is well.

    The disconnect of the solenoid wire stopped the fuse no. 7 (15 amp) from blowing. I have ordered a new solenoid. The wiring at the solenoid is brittle. Hope I dont have to replace the wiring. The connector wouldn't come apart. Had to snip the wire. Sixty years ago, I learned that you fuse...

    RTV900R shutoff
