Hi Gadge,

Thanks for your reply. I hope the Honda solenoid does work, it will save a lot of problems if it does.

I did have a continuity tester, unfortunately I've misplaced it, all I have now is a Digitech QM-1500 Multimeter, never came with instructions. I've got the red lead plugged in above the COM hole (Black lead plugged in the COM hole). I can check for voltage, not familiar with rest of the features on the multimeter.

One way to find out if that solenoid is useable. I agree, that battery is cactus, it's been neglected by previous owner.

Thanks for your advice and thanks for the link for that Honda motor.

Cheers, Bondy
