608KEB 794 #1 Posted January 6, 2018 I bought a 312- a couple days ago. I'm wondering why or what purpose this serves? PO added it. What does it do? Is it needed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 552 #2 Posted January 6, 2018 That is a solenoid for the starter. Without seeing the starter I couldn't tell you if you need it as he may have switched it with a starter that didn't have one on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,229 #3 Posted January 6, 2018 Exactly where do the wires go to and from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie 882 #4 Posted January 6, 2018 That is just a generic replacement solenoid. Can be mounted both ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

608KEB 794 #6 Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) It was hastily installed. Wrong one but I can flip it around to work. Edited January 6, 2018 by 608KEB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 552 #7 Posted January 7, 2018 Yes you'll need that for the starter. I agree there is a better way to mount it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
