My 1979 200 evinrude will trim in but will not trim out. I have 12 volts on the large solenoid terminal connected to the in-line fuse and 12 volts on the small terminal that the 2 black wires are connected to, but only have 4 volts on the small terminal the blue-white wire connects to. If I jumper both large terminals, the engine will trim out. On the trim switch I have 12 volts on the green white wire and only 4 volts on the blue white wire. Should I conclude I have a faulty solenoid??
