the pull in winding is only good for very shot periods of time,, think seconds to be safe
it is intended to give a good strong yank over the relatively long distances involved, where it bottoms and swithes to the
hold in winding,
holding in requires very little magnatism, because the distance has been closed,, longer distances require more current and magnetism to
get the job done,, especially when the voltage is low when cranking.
don't rely on the pull in winding to do anything other than activate the solenoid, adjust it to go to hold in immediately if possible
once it gets to the fully retracted position it will disconnect the pull in winding anyway, if adjusted properly
the pull in winding is activated on a relay that is controlled by the starter solenoid, so it will retract when cranking and is held in then by
the run winding because the ignition is on.
basically the run winding is rated continuous duty,,the pullin winding is very intermittent duty
most solenoids are damaged and ruined by not being adjusted properly and not allowing them to fully retract
