OD solinoid
Anyone had any experience using a 6 volt solinoid with a 12 volt system?

Re: OD solinoid
I,be heard you can with a voltage reducer. It's "hot" whenever it's running though so I don't think the thing will last long running it on 12v.

12 volts on a 6 volt OD solenoid will last a long time (years). Forget the resistor.
I have been doing this for several years. |

I had a solenoid rebuilder in MN tell me they weren't voltage sensitive, except when you try to use a 12v on a 6v.
