I have a solenoid left over from the period in which I threw parts at my OD
until it worked. I know (a little) better now. I cannot recall the
particular crisis that occasioned a new solenoid, but I still have the old
one and it "appears" to work fine.
How can I bench test it?
The OD works fine at the moment, thanks. (Touch wood)
Incidentally, I bought an OD relay recently whilst cleaning up the other and
keeping it as a spare. The new one lasted about 2 weeks. I opened it up and
it was lousy with damp/corrosion etcetc. I find these relays to clean up
well if/when they malfunction, but I was surprised by the state of this one!
It's one of the cheaper Lucas ones with spade connectors on top.
