Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct, the two windings of the solenoid are called the pull-in and the hold-in windings. Technician B is incorrect, as the hold-in winding is only energized after the solenoid has successfully pulled the starter gear into the flywheel. The pull-in winding is energized only while the starter button or key is engaged.
