Take a pair of pliers, bare handles, and connect the two large connections on the slave solenoid with them. If the engine cranks consistantly replace the solenoid.
My 350 MAG was doing the same thing, salve solenoid was shot.

Ok...found it tucked neatly out of sight under the mercathode just to the right/rear of the carb. I used pliers to jump the two large connections and the engine turned over. Did that twice for about 3 seconds each time. So, I'll order the solenoid and change it.

Thanks!!
