Update from the Ace Mechanic

So friends have come to the conclusion that the solenoid is trash. When out on the bench and 6V power is applied to it the plunger just oscillates in and out. I an told it should snap in and stay there, so at this point I am going to send it to Tom Endy, if he will have it. Anyone near Danville, Ca selling one?

Thanks to all who helped.
