JD 4110 fuel solenoid

[adamh]

I have an 04 4110 and the fuel shut off solenoid went bad and blew the 40a fuse. i replaced the fuse and plugged in the new solenoid without bolting it in to make sure it was going to work. when the key is turned it pulls in like it should but after a minute or two the thing is so hot you can hardly touch it. Is this normal??? I would really hate to burn out another one.

How many wires are going to it. some solenoids have 2 windings a pull and a hold pull ckt draws more amps but is only to energize it then hold takes over does it ground thru body or does it have ground wire.

Hi sorry for the delayed response it has 3 wires going to it red white and black. Is there a relay that changes it from pull voltage to hold ?

I'm not sure on this model some of them use crank to energize and run to hold it in. You can test this with a test light.

This is without the tractor even running this is with the key just in the run position. Maybe this model needs to be running before it goes to hold...I'll give that a try.
