I've had a hot start problem ,and the volt drop across the solenoid was 3 volts when it got hot ! .
I cut it open to see what the problem and was shocked by how cheap it was .
This was an Echlin, but it was made in China.
I now use a AMETEK /Prestolite metal case solenoid with silver contacts.
The p/n is 15-108 , it can sustain 200 amps continuous ,and 600 amps intermittent.
the photo shows what most Chinese relays look like inside , pretty poorly built for our applications.

Tom, can you tell me where you find the AMETEK./ Prestolite metal case solenoids?
I have tried a coupe of the major chain Auto Parts houses and they are not able to find it.
I started to send this in a PM but thought others might want to know the answer also if you answered it in the forums.
Thanks
