I had, like many of you, the starting problem many times, but never address that problem yet. Now that I am on this long voyage and the problem accures more often, I want to deal with it. The easiest solution that I am in a position to do is to install a new wire. On my solenoid I have the big bolt that hooks a wire to the battery, one to the alternator and one coming from the harness; I also have a small connector with a screw that hooks to a wire coming from the harness. Wich one of these 2 connectors or wires from the harness do I have to change ? Would a #12 or #10 would work? And finally, my guess is that I have to drive that new wire to the push button (I still have the Yanmar key and the large push button), should I unplug the wire that is connected to that end to replace it or just add the new wire to that connection ?
