One more question, what is the force that is necessary to engage or
disengage the speed lever? (in pounds).

Solenoids are rated for particular forces and your mention that the
lever moves about 1/4" is suggestive that it takes substantial force
to move it. That may require a large solenoid.

I will need to determine the pull/push of this lever. It didn't take much
finger effort to move this, but then again, the engine was not running at
the time, I don't know if this would make much difference, but will
determine this when the engine is running next.

I will have to come up with some kind of gauge to determine the push/pull,
any ideas?? I'm sure there is some kind of device, (spring?), that is
calibrated for this, perhaps a tool to determine trigger pull on a firearm?

Haven't looked into this yet, but will soon.

for a pull "down", a regular known weight will work. (such as a food
item). For a pull up, the same plus a small block with a tiny pulley
if you have one.



If a pulley is used, doesn't that change the amount of force required to
lift something? or is that with multiple pulleys?
