86 carb [hitachi] fuel shut off solenoid??

Featured Replies

has anyone taken apart the idle circuit solenoid & removed the needle valve, how will the carb work? i'm thinking i have a problem that is in the solenoid, & was just wondering if removing that needle valve would create any other probs?

It may diesel when you shut it off.

 

You can test that thing - just apply 12v to it while it's off the carb and see if the needle gets sucked in. FWIW, I've never seen one fail.
