thanks for the video. is my solenoid working correctly if...when the starter cranks, the pin pulls in, as soon as engine fires up, the starter is off but ignition still on, the pin comes out? engine immediately shuts down as if turned off.
it sounds like the "hold" wire is not working correctly. What I learned with these is that there's two different circuits, one for "pull-in" and one for "hold". The solenoid should have a black, a red, and a white wire. If you have a multi-meter, there should be some amount of resistance from black to red, and some different amount from black to white, on the solenoid side of the connector. If you crank the engine and measure the engine (not the solenoid) side of the connector, there should be 12v to I believe the white wire during cranking only, and 12v to the red wire whenever the key is on. I may have red vs. white functions backward.
@@firefly3333 thanks a ton for the response. it turned out to be a white wire under the black plastic next to the radiator. a mouse chewed it up. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

How did it not leak any oil out if the shut off pin. with your manual set up
