Anybody got a ball park figure for how many amps to activate a fuel stop solenoid on Volvo Penta D1 - 30?

In the service manual (chapter30) is stated: The solenoid should draw 6Amps on 12V, See screenshot

Many thanks for that.

The manual looks like a sensible thing to have, is it available online to download?
