[T2] solenoid

[J Rivers]

if you have the wires removed from term 50, and the starter motor runs,,, then the solenoid switch is 
closed when it should be open.... this says that the solenoid needs to come off to find out why

the solenoid could be jammed  etc.
or .... the wire from the starter motor brushes is under the same stud as the B+ wire.... 

check it out ..
