Jabiru 3300A - Starter Solenoid

by Adel Bazzi

Hello Everyone, 

Does anyone have a Starter Solenoid Wiring Diagram for a Jabiru 3300A. I have a wire that has a capacitor attached to the Solenoid, and I don't know where it goes to.

Thanks for your help!

    Any possibility it's a diode rather than a capacitor?  It's common practice to run a diode across the solenoid's terminals to prevent arcing in the start switch and burning the terminals.  I don't have a pic with a clear view of the diode across the starter solenoid, but here's a pic that shows the diode across the terminals of the master solenoid (the solenoid on the left in the picture):

      I have attached the Jabiru installation manual, which includes the wiring diagrams.  It can be helpful at times.  JEM3302-8_Inst-.pdf

        Master and starter solenoid diodes connect differently. If this is your starter solenoid, and the cathode (with the stripe) is going to the solenoid, the other end (anode) should go to ground.

        This might help:
