The ford style automotive solenoid will not last long. And yes, it stays energized at all times while the pedal is pushed and needs the diode. Cart system does not work the same as a automotive starting circuit.

As long as you are following the diagram with your harness then keep going and save your money.
You can get micros off the net or ebay but I've found that checking the dealer first sometimes pays off.
I am picking up an ignition coil for a FE290 from the dealer for $43.00 and the cheapest place on the net was $54.00 plus shipping and who knows what third world country made it. Just a thought.
