Looking for any information that might be out there for a good source for repair parts....I need to replace the "choke solenoid assembly" on my QuickSilver 7.5kw gas genset in my '91 Commodore 360 and am not having a whole lot of success with locating this part online. I was able to find an expanded parts diagram (in PDF) with part numbers but this shows each part number individually and not as an "assembly"...which would be ok if I could locate a source for parts. I have attached a PDF of what I found with the assembly highlighted. TIA - JJ CCF04062021.pdf (1.53 MB) |

just buy # 30, assume that is all you need? How did you determine it was defective?

just buy # 30, assume that is all you need? How did you determine it was defective? At the time I started this thread, I had been at the boat and removed the intake/carb cover, flame arrestor and checked the choke assembly. This was prompted by the inability to start the genset from the remote switch on the electrical panel in the cabin. Instead, the only means of starting the genset was from the bilge with the start switch on the generator itself while manipulating the throttle assembly. I discovered the choke plate was very stiff and not easily moved. First thought was that the choke solenoid was "frozen" and would need to be replaced. I was also not confident of the integrity of the wire winding on the assembly that is there to open the choke plate as the engine warms. I began searching online for available parts and have not found much out there for sources....this was the reason for starting this thread.... The end result on this is that I was able to free up the assembly last night using a generous amount of WD-40 spray on the choke plate spindle and a little on the solenoid rod and working the parts open/closed for about ten minutes or more to free things up. Amazing how the easily the generator starts when the choke assembly works freely... doh! Now, on to the NEXT project! |
