    Primer choke solenoid

    1990 Johnson 70 VRO VJ70TLESB. Should the choke solenoid "click" when it's engaged at the key? I'm hearing nothing. My manual says an ohmmeter between the blue/white and black leads should read 5.5 +- 1.5. Mine simply shows continuity (0.0) between the two leads (when the leads are disconnected). I'm assuming my solenoid is done.
    Thanks,

    Yes, it should click, use the volt meter on the wires to the solenoid and hit the choke, key on should see approx battery voltage.

    Yep, good volts going to solenoid, but no clicking or sound (fuel) coming from the solenoid at all. Bad choke solenoid. Any good places to order that part on-line?
