Richard Mills Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi There, A fix I was forced to use when my spider went wrong.... A 2 foot length of wire with a 1/4 spade con on one end (insulated of course) and a croc clip on the other. Remove wire from fuel cut off solenoid, plug on spade. Clip the other end to the battery pos. Start the engine. It will only stop by stalling it or disconnecting the wire. Good luck with it. RM.
