The Wacker Neuson Starter Solenoid is a genuine OEM component designed for the G50, G70, and G85 series skid-mounted mobile generators. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact electrical and mechanical specifications required for proper engine cranking performance. It is confirmed compatible across multiple G50, G70, and G85 generator configurations, including standard skid-mounted and cold-weather variants.
Key Features
- Correct Coil and Contact Specification — Genuine OEM construction ensures the solenoid delivers the precise amperage draw and contact engagement the G-series starter circuit requires, with no guesswork on electrical compatibility.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to mount and connect exactly as the original, matching terminal placement and housing dimensions for a straightforward swap during service.
- Broad G-Series Coverage — Fits G50, G70, and G85 skid-mounted mobile generators across multiple production configurations, including cold-weather equipped units.
- Restores Reliable Engine Cranking — A worn or failed starter solenoid can cause intermittent no-start conditions or prevent the engine from cranking entirely; replacing it with part 5000115668 restores full starting function.
- Electrical Safety Integrity — As a high-current switching component in the starting circuit, using a correctly rated OEM solenoid helps prevent arcing, overheating, and damage to the starter motor or battery cables.
The starter solenoid acts as a high-current relay between the ignition switch and the starter motor. When the operator turns the key, the solenoid receives a low-current signal and uses it to close a heavy-duty internal contact that sends full battery current to the starter motor, cranking the engine. A failing solenoid may produce a clicking sound with no crank, intermittent starting, or complete electrical silence when the key is turned — all signs that the solenoid's internal contacts have worn or the coil has failed. Replacing it promptly keeps the generator available when power is needed on site.
