    I need a little more help.   In testing an unmounted solenoid, I have
read somewhere that by connecting a clip lead to the solenoid wire and
touching it to the  positive terminal of a 12 volt battery and grounding
the case to the negative terminal, that it will pull the plunger into the
case.   This is suppose to indicate that the solenoid does not have a
internal short.  When I did this with my solenoid, the plunger went in
and out / in and out in a very rapid movement.  Sounded like a machine
gun firing and there were no sparks that I could see. Can someone tell me
what's going on with my solenoid.

Thanks 
Sam Austin
