The engine stop solenoid on my starboard engine stopped working on my last trip out. I have now learnt how to stop the engine manually if this ever happens again.
I now have a new stop solenoid on order from CAT as well as the seal which I am going to keep and try to have it repaired
Has anyone replaced one of these on the CAT 3126 engine and is there anything I should look out for and what should I use to remove the old one, coz I'm sure it will be a b*****d to get off and its also on the outboard side of the stbd engine so space is very limited for a "fatboy" as my wife has started calling me !
