So BF rebuilt my carbs and desmogged my IS.  While he was rebuilding the carbs he says " the orifice in your fuel solenoid looks a little too small....should get the bigger one."

I think to myself...ran fine on that one!

After BF left I take it out and do the 60-100 run on check....man she feels like she's fuel starved!?

Finally get around to installing the bigger valve....(I hate taking that air box off).....60-100 in 2-3 seconds?  Dang better slow down or Po-Po will find me....again!

I installed the bigger one after having fuel starvation on the WV Inzane trip pulling my Timeout camper.

Mark is the right one 1/4 orifice that comes up on your link?

I thought I answered this.  Did you click the link above?  Click it. 1/4" orifice is the bigger one.

Checking in to see if anything interesting was happening around here and saw this post. I also found the fuel valves here

 https://www.ebay.com/itm/AFC-121-Advanced-Fuel-Components-Solenoid-Shut-Lock-Off-Valve-12-volt-Max-2psi/232779210725?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649  

with free shipping and got one. Thanks for doing the research Avanti. They have the information wrong in the description, but it is the correct valve. Been thinking I was pushing it never having installed one.

The most expensive things you will purchase, are those things you would not have needed if you had listened and obeyed.

So the stock fuel solenoid is bottling my horsepower from 60-100?
