Solenoid to replace the fuel shut off cable

[Keith13315]

Has anyone replaced the Fuel shut off cable on a Yanmar with a electric solenoid? If so where did you find the solenoid? Any pictures would be a big bonus.
Thanks

Thanks, I very much appreciate it. Looks like what I need to order. What do to use to energize the solenoid? At 50 amps inrush current that can be pretty tough on a switch.
Thanks

that is only momentary you can use a starter push button ...marine grade ofcourse the holding part does not draw near that much ....you will also have to bend a stainless wire to link the new plunger to the bellcrank on the fuel shut off
