Onan 4.0 BFA troubleshoot advice?
Have a 1986 Onan 4.0 BFA 1R/16020C #F863117686E genset. Past years, always start/run.
Tried firing it up this year, got clicking solenoid sound, so checked battery and cleaned connections. Still just clicking. I replaced the K-1 solenoid, now when I connect the + battery cable to the solenoid, it slowly clicks constantly, immediately after hooking it up, without engaging the start switch at all. Was hoping someone might recognize what this might be, I appreciate any insights.

Me thinks bad solenoid. This assumes all electrical connections are clean and secure including a good ground.

Where did you buy the K-1 solenoid??? There are a lot of different type of solenoids out there.

Re: Onan 4.0 BFA troubleshoot advice?
I just bought a generic solenoid - Carquest BWD S63P - sounds like that was a mistake.... since it looked the same with same "s" and 'i" primary terminals as the Onan 307-1617 I assumed it compatible.
