T&T: Kill Switch for 3208

[vacogen@mv-worknot.com]

The Cat 3208 is available with either energized to run or energized to shut down solenoid.  My parts book is at the office but I can look it up you need a part number.

(snip) your engine REQUIRES 12v to keep 
the stop solenoid from stopping your motor?  So if you have an alternator or 
battery failure your engine would shut down?

My 1980's 3208na engines also have a normally closed fuel solenoid (built into the mechanical fuel pump).  So,  when I want the engines to get fuel,  I have to apply 12 vdc to the solenoid.  Never made me very happy that but for this solenoid valve,  my engines would run until they sucked water into the intake.
