My initial thought is the solenoid will be designed to operate on the kind of current a starter switch provides. Certainly that is true of all the cars I've worked on, not just the 4/4.
Has he a part number for the solenoid? One might be able to find the electrical characteristics on the web, in particular the operating current of the solenoid and see if this is reasonable for a switch.
A relay as well as a solenoid doesn't sound a very Morgan thing to do, especially at that time. My 2p says we're looking at an owner modification.

A fellow SpotMogger with a Moss Box +8 has a problem with the starter
solenoid pulsating.
It works properly with a direct electrical feed.
There is a relay between the starter switch and the solenoid.
The solenoid also works if the relay is bypassed.
As you might expect, the relay output lead is thicker than its input lead.
He asked me if the relay could be dispensed with.
I pointed out that the starter switch may then suffer from carrying too
much current.
Any thoughts anyone?
