So looking at the schematics for this machine it seems that the shut off solenoid and the primer pump are on the same circuit, seeing that I am getting voltage to the primer pump when i turn the key on it runs for a few seconds then shuts off which I think is the normal operation of it. So looks like it must just be a break from somewhere between the pump and solenoid. If I connect the solenoid to the 12v on the primer pump would it just turn on for a few seconds and then shut off or would it run? Seeing that the two supposed to be on the same circuit anyways.Can anyone help me s/n yyz03134
