You might want to check that the battery connections are clean and tight; and 
that the battery itself is in good shape.  It's been awhile since I was inside 
a TR3 solenoid, but I don't recall it having the "buzzer" (aka pull-in coil) 
that many more modern solenoids have.

Your Trombetta solenoid will probably work OK, if it is intended for automotive 
applications.  The cables might not fit though, I believe most of them use 
5/16" studs while the original TR3 solenoid was 1/4".
