What with trying to help peeps with the wiring on their AT's recently (both here and "elsewhere") I've had time to cogitate on such matters. And it occurred to me that the amount of power that's needed to operate the starter solenoid is the same that's needed to light your main beam - roughly 4 Amps. Which is quite a bit really.
I only know this because I've measured the resistance, fairly accurately I might add, of the starter solenoid and it works out at 3.5 Ohms.
As you were.
