Then you will need to trouble shoot to see if you have a mechanical binding situation with the linkage or something in the solenoid or fuel rack binding up.

There is no other reason to bind, other then what Ray listed. None. It simply can not be an electrical problem. Once you pull the C-Plug, the solenoid should retract.
I once saw the solenoid "cocked" a bit so the linkage and solenoid could not easily slide in and out. And the linkage was not adjusted IAW the instructions. So that was the "problem". The real problem was too many people, put too many hands on the thing. and "adjusted" it out of proper alignment.

For troubleshooting, I have not done much for this symptom, since I am also dealing with not producing AC. After turning off the main switch and emergency switch it will take a couple of minutes to shut off. It will slowly idle down and stumble to turn off, like it is being starved fuel.

Read the whole thread. Try the advice in post #15. Then, it would be best to start your own thread. Its hard for folks to keep several different peoples problem straight. For instance, post #3. It helps for us to know the answers to these questions. Help us, help you.
