Yes, I am. It doesn't move when the key is on. Is it suppose to?

Not moving when the key is on. What should I check? Anyone know what it should ohm out at? Is it just 12 volts? Is there a fuse for it?

it's 12 volts and doesn't have a seperate fuse. i would run a test wire from your battery and bump the power terminal to verify it's working.

And if it has power it still wont work unless the throttle is open enough to take pressure of the plunger.The solenoid wont lift the arm,it is designed to hold the arm up after the arm is lifted and solenoid engaged.
