Default Re: Overdrive parts availabiliy

One word of caution about repop solenoids: before you install one remove the cap and observe the action of the heavy amperage pull-in coil contact (the lower contact closest to the base) to be sure contact is broken when the plunger extends. If it doesn't break contact the pull-in coil will be connected all the time which will burn out the windings in the base in short order. Burnt windings can't be repaired economically. The pull-in coil can be adjusted either by bending the tab on the moveable contact or by shimming with small flat washers.
