So I replaced it. The new solenoid also is HOT to touch.
Is this normal ?
Also, how can I test to see if this switch is working and will start the MH using the house batteries.
Thank you

You’re saying it’s hot to touch all the time? That makes no sense unless it’s maybe partially shorted to ground. Or the trigger wire is sending powder from the switch when it shouldn’t be.
How to test? Disconnect the start battery, push the button, see if the Moho starts. Or see if it starts without pushing the button which means the trigger is getting power when it shouldn’t.
It’s an older Moho, what’s the chance someone had their own Busch light inspired engineering session with the electrical system?
