Hello bmurnion welcome to YT! What exactly were the symptoms that led you to replace the old one? When you tighten it down whether it is the new or old one do you seem to be drawing it against spring pressure? Did the old one when you took it of the first time push off as if it were under tension? The new one could have been faulty and when you touched the cable and it turned over a bit. Maybe the drive is not as properly lubed or working as freely as it should. Now it is setting there in the flywheel engaged and when you bolt the solenoid on it is pushing the plunger of the solenoid in making the contacts connect. Secondly are those lands or rings on the end of the plunger supposed to be on either side of the engagement mechanism inside so they would be able to place force either direction? Like a pin in a notch if you follow what I am saying? If so with those long studs I do not see how you could position it correctly. So maybe the plunger is getting shoved in to far even if the drive is not engaged. All this assumes you have not removed the starter and are just removing the solenoid. If you have not pulled the starter I would recommend doing that so you can see exactly what is going on. Maybe the poster Ultradog will be along he knows these 3000s like the back of his hand.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
