For my PW, I have the stock 6 volt system.
I installed a Dennan overdrive, which has a 12 volt solenoid to activate it. Problem is I can't get the solenoid to work with 6 volts, even though others have been able to do so with less than 12 volts.
I checked the solenoid and can hear a click when I apply 12 volts across it, but with 6 volts, no.
Any suggestions?
I know I can hide a motorcycle battery by a frame rail and use that to power it, but would prefer to find an easier solution.
Mr Dennis Gronan, the person that sells them, said he thought 6 volts would work, but be slower to activate. He said at first it might take several miles to activate it. I drove it for a mile or two and it did not cut in.
He said they don't make a 6 volt solenoid that fits in the overdrive.
Suggestions?
