I have a Yale GLP050VXESE086 It has a Mazda LP engine. I forget what its called but there is a fuel prime solenoid that helps starting. Key off there is 9 volts. Key on it flashes to 11 or 12 volts. The solenoid works but there is not enough current going to it to energize it. What powers the solenoid?

If you are talking about the one that goes to the lp vaporizer- Should be the oil pressure switch. Some guys connect them to the key switch so it is hot when the key is turned on. You can crack the line after the solenoid and see if you are get fuel Thu it. Don't be near it when your cranking the engine over. The lp will freeze burn you. Hope this helps.
