There is a few floating and sitting in drawers somewhere. You can always hop the soleniod with screwdriver in a pinch.
Quick google search. Don't like the look of this one personally. https://www.cjponyparts.com/starter-...oaAnMDEALw_wcB |

I think some make their connection when the small wire is negative, and the others when the small wire is positive. I'm no electrician, just my observation when testing them.

![]() I surely can NOT imagine any reason why a solenoid would be polarity sensitive. That coil is only wanting to complete a circuit. DD . |

Make sure you take it out of gear before you push the button. Scare the crap out of you if you don't!

One of the handiest tools around my garage is the remote starter button, which clips to the terminals of the starter solenoid. Like to chank the engine while checking for a spark from coil or plug wire. Or running a compression test. Or testing for fuel pump output. Better than the solenoid with a button, because you can activate it from any place around the front end.

I got one when I had a yblock on a run stand. Nice little slick tool. As I mentioned previously you can actually do this with a screwdriver too. Just kind of crude. |

From my earlier thread; RE the Echlin ST-58 NAPA gave me that would not work on my '49 Ford positive ground PU which as I know, requires the ST-53. If solenoids are not polarity sensitive, then the New Asian made Eichlin solenoid ST-58 must of been just faulty. Only difference I could tell was the ST-58 had a bakealite case and the 53 a metal case from Mexico. An interesting thread in any event. Don

If you still believe that solenoids are polarity-sensitive, then can you PLEASE explain why old Ford solenoids still work when guys change their old Fords over to 12v, NEG Ground? DD . |

Doesn't the pull-in coil need the electrons flowing in the correct direction to make the magnetic action pull the correct way? If polarity reversed, wouldn't the coil try to pull the other way?
EDIT: Just thought of something: My wash machine uses solenoid water valves, and its running on alternating current, electrons flowing both ways. So I guess a solenoid coil does not care about positive/negative. Last edited by JayChicago; 01-29-2022 at 02:50 PM. |

6 or 12V? If 6V, I have a brand new Standard in the box that I can get the part number off of if you're interested. It has the starting button

I use an original ford unit, now on 12v neg ground, works fine. I did learn though, they need to be mounted so that gravity can not help hold the circuit closed or they will stick on occasionally.
