I have been having a problem with my solenoid chattering, or close to it. It is a fairly new solenoid and has never work right. I think both large posts should be isolated from the case, but the one I have is not. I wired it with the battery negative on the top large post, and the starter to the bottom large post. The key switch goes to the small right post. On the bench, with 12 volts between the bottom large post and small right post, it pulls in a bolt, which seems right. However, when checking with an ohmmeter, the bottom post shows about 1 ohm to ground. So, on the tractor, when the solenoid operates, doesn't the battery basically get shorted to ground? Shouldn't both large posts of the solenoid be isolated from ground?
