[Tigers] Solenoid problem?

[Ron Fraser]

You need to check the brown wire back to the ignition switch also – clean and check all the connections

 

You should also check the ign switch – flaky ign switch could be the problem

I believe I have a solenoid problem but thought it worth checking with the collective wisdom here:

 

Symptoms:  Tiger turns over immediately most times, but regularly when turning to the start position *nothing* happens (no clicks, no noise, nothing).  This tends to persist for a few tries it then it will all start working again.  Happens occasionally on cold start, might happen more frequently when engine is hot but pattern not entirely clear.

 

What has been checked so far:

- Battery has 12.6V, clean terminal connections & ground, and battery volatage is making it to the solenoid

- Cleaned terminals & connections on starter

- Solenoid terminals & connections cleaned

- Solenoid voltage drop between battery & starter posts is in 0.12V-0.15V range (was north of 0.3V before cleaning terminals)

 

My conclusion is that the solenoid is flaky, but if I am missing anything please shout.

 

Cheers in advance
