I didn't say the solenoid coil (fuel) was bad. The starter contacts were not disengaging which is why the fuel solenoid coil got too hot. It is not meant to stay energized for more than a few seconds. Once you disengage the starter the pull coil de-energizes but the hold coil stays energized until you turn off the ingnition.
There is plenty of power to run both portions of your fuel solenoid and your starter solenoid and your starter, along with the radio and your cab lights if you so desire. This is proven by the fact that there is plenty of voltage there to smoke the coil.
The fuel solenoid (pull portion)eventually went bad a few weeks after a new starter was installed. The hold portion never went bad and I could be driving it today if I didn't mind opening the hood every time I wanted to start the truck.

yeah theres enough voltage (not power) to pull it in with all accesories on but when you get a component that draws more current you have a prob.

 

Got truck running!!! This is what I had to do adjust idle screw to 840 rpm from 1000 rpm. Removed shutoff solenoid and backed off govenor springs 2 clicks. Then reassembled. For some reason this seems to be the problem I had and now runs awesome and starts right away. Thank you all for your help and advice!

 

Good Job !!!
