hey folks, it turned out to be the stud that the power cable attaches to... it was broken off clean inside the solenoid.
I mangled my LarryB's diode on installation... see ya $25!
then, while messing with it, the little rubber grommet that the tiny stud is in
came out It has a copper wire spiraled. . attached to nothing
this is the small rubber grommet where the small brown wire attaches...
did I break something? If so, I'd like to fix it before I go to start 'er up
I've been down for kdp, fuel lines, VP/PS pump and many more maintenance items. . I'd like it to start up when I'm finished...
