The Starter Solenoid in Chevrolet K1500 vehicles serves two primary functions. It connects the battery and starter motor when the ignition switch is turned on and also aligns the starter motor pinion with the car's ring gear. This solenoid serves as an electromagnet which when uses the small current from the ignition switch pulls heavy contacts together allowing larger current through to the starter motor to start the engine. Yanmar, like all manufacturers of K1500 models, has used different styles of starter solenoids over the years, including the type that are drive-activated, such as the Bendix with lost inertia as opposed to solenoid activation. Today, most solenoids have one-way clutch to stop the starter motor from being over driven. Some issues may arise from power supply to the solenoid where most of the time it may result in a clicking sound but does not engage properly, could be a result of poor battery supply or corroded connections. These problems can, however, be minimized through healthy practice of maintaining the machines constantly.
