Hey everyone
I have a couple questions that I need help answering if you don’t mind. First the engine I have in my 34’ 2007 Mainship Trawler is the Yanmar 6LPA-STP. I have an issue with shutting down the engine from the ignition switch. It’s a three way switch which is normally in the run (middle) position you push up to start and down to shut off. It starts and runs fine however pushing down on the switch does nothing. The only way I can shut down the engine now is to cut power to the circuit at the breaker panel. What I want to know is if the solenoid uses power to keep the fuel open or does it use power only to shut it down. I think the solenoid must be working because the engine starts and runs perfectly fine and when I cut power it shuts down immediately so I think it’s a switch/power issue. Also if anyone has a picture of where it is located exactly that would also be helpful (I have looked and think I know where it is but want to be sure). Thanks
Rob
