Hi brainy ones. I'm in the process of throwing a eurotorch on the wolf 140 "professional" and need to fit a solenoid.
(Disclosure, I'm doing the torch because I'm out of gas due to the last handle leaking half a bottle away while I gave the missus a "minute spare"... Plus the original torch was way too short for me... And it's killing time while I've little else to do as gas is next year's purchase)
So, I'm looking for a suitable feed. Only wires I've seen that might be ok to splice into are on the PCB.
I've yellow (+) and white (-) that feed the rectifier control
Two black for the torch switch
Red n blue for the wire feed.
I need a constant feed to trip the solenoid, any of these suitable?
I think the motor is 24v so a candidate and can't imagine the solenoid load would upset it as a piggyback.
The switch is pointless, it's not current carrying as such.
The rectifier I think is normally between 19-22v so above 12v and under 24v solenoids.
I know, too early in the year for this rubbish, thanks for any help or suggestions.
