Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a Volvo 2002 from a manual engine stop to an electronic one.

I had an idea of fitting a solenoid to pull the cable but the travel on the cable is 60mm and I can't find a solenoid to suit. I could also make a lever on a pivot for this.

I am unsure if I can simply adjust the cable so that the shut off lever is closer to the shut off position but I am unsure if this will affect the running of the engine.

Any advice will be greatly received.

Regards
Darran

I am sure you had a good reason for putting your query in the yacht racing section but most technical queries re engines tend to go on on PBOs reader to reader and usually get a lot more attention, worth asking there?
