T&T: Adjusting Engine Stop Solenoid Perkins 6.3544 (NA)

I have found that when a solenoid begins to go bad, it will not pull the 
same distance as when it was new.  I guess that an interior winding degrade 
is what causes the final failure.  Check first the see what the full 
distance of travel is (being sure you have full power to the solenoid) and 
compare it to the manufacturer specs of the part.
It may just be a normal failure about to happen....worn out.
