There was some on here that were talking about using a solenoid to turn your generator on and off and were having problems with them burning up.I cant find where they were talking about it but anyway here is the part number for the one you want. It is a Echlin ST 85 80 amp continous duty and you can get them at any auto parts store.Now here's one thing you will need to do.It will have to small post on top of it for your wire to go to to turn it on and off.One of the small post is a ground post.It has a non grounding base so you will have to use that post for grounding it to make it work.It needs a wire from it to a ground.The other small post will be the one you will hook your wire to to turn it on.And of course the two big post are the one from your battery and the other big one will be your output. Also it will handle a whole lot more than 80 amps and never get hot.
