Failure of electrical stop solenoid May 1993

On some 1300 Series engines, there have been reports about the failure of the stop solenoid to remain in the
run position after the engine has started.
It was found that although the solenoid was connected in accordance with the usual procedure, (solenoid
energised to start) a reverse electro-magnetic force was generated by the starter motor through the "S"
terminal. This caused the solenoid to be released from the run position, which then stopped the engine.
It will be necessary to separate the connection to the starter motor "S" terminal from that of the solenoid to
prevent the starter motor relay being overloaded. Another relay, part number 2848A204 (12V) or 2848A227
(24V) must then be added.
When the new relay is fitted, in the 12V circuit (A1) and in the 24V circuit (B1), it must be connected between
the solenoid and the B+ terminal of the starter motor. The solenoid will then operate correctly.
Circuit diagrams
Electrical circuit diagrams are shown for both 12 volt (A) and 24 volt (B) systems, and for an ether start
system (C).
Main starter motor cables are shown in thick lines. Total resistance must not be more than 0.0017 ohms for
12V systems and 0.0034V for 24V systems.
Alternator charge system: Maximum circuit decrease in voltage must not be more than 0.5V for 12V systems
and 1.0V for 24V systems.
Maximum cable size for 375 series Lucar terminals on the alternator is 65/0,3 mm (4,5 mm 2) therefore, twin
cables are needed at the connection to the alternator.
Starter motor solenoid circuit. Maximum circuit decrease in voltage must not be more than 0.63V for 12V
systems and 1.0V for 24V systems.
Minimum cable size: All cable sizes not shown, are 14/0,3mm (1 mm2) for strength on low current cables.
All cable lengths to be kept as short as possible.
Caution: To prevent damage to the alternator:
Before any cable is disconnected, stop the engine and turn the relevant switches to the off position.
When a cable is removed from its terminal, always ensure it is returned to the same terminal.
Never join the positive and negative battery connections together to check for a flow of current.
Always check for the correct polarity and voltage before a battery is connected into the system.
Remove all alternator connections if any part of the installation is to be electric welded.
Never run the alternator with the field energised and the battery disconnected.
