Thumbs down da,da,da,da, another one bites the dust!

Well its that time again...another fuel solenoid down the drain. Re-profiled once and got a month out of it, tried it again and again and can only drop the idle. Hate to say it but I am now a member of the pull cable crew (until I save some money or make something better).

Welcome to the club. Now you know that you are moving the propper amount of fuel.

Welcome

I do not think they make a better solenoid. So this is probably a permenent solution.

Yep, I need to step up to a better cable...this choke cable is a real pain. Think I might try some bike brake cables....
