Pilot Jet Solenoid
donn - July 14th, 2011 at 03:11 PM

Can someone tell me what a " Pilot Jet Solenoid and cut off valve " does, mine has lost the electrical connection from the end, can I simply solder another one on or will the heat from the solder stuff up something inside?
Thanks
Don

It's basically an electrical fuel cut-off.

The idea is that when you switch the ignition off, it prevents run-on by closing the valve inside and so stopping fuel going through the idle jet.

As to soldering on a new connection... well I've done it in the past with no probs, so unless you're a complete clutz with the soldering iron should be all good !!!
