TESTING THE FUEL SHUT-OFF SOLENOID
1. Remove the spark plug wires from each spark plug to prevent
accidental starting of the engine.
2. Check for 12 volts DC at the solenoid terminal.
See Figure 3-11.
a. Place one hand on the fuel solenoid and turn the ignition switch to
the run position. You should be able to feel the solenoid actuate
as well as hear an audible click. Replace the solenoid if it does
not actuate. Some systems will delay power to the solenoid until
full oil pressure is reached during cranking.
3. If the solenoid is opening properly, proceed
t o “ T E S T I N G A N D R E PA I R I N G T H E L P G

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF
LPG SOLENOID VALVE
If the solenoid valve is removed for cleaning or replacing the filter, it is
recommended that the special synthetic sealing gaskets be replaced.
When installing new sealing gaskets, they should be lubricated using
an O-ring lubricant.
DO NOT RE-USE O-RINGS!
For improving the functional features and lifetime of the solenoid, it
is recommend that the gaskets and filter be replaced after 500 hours
of operation.

Lubrication Points
NOTE: For correct solenoid valve fitting, it is essential that the
following torque values be observed:
1 Coil Bolt 7.85 Nm (70 in. lbs.)
2 Reservoir Bolt 11.8 Nm (104 in. lbs.)
3 Coil Spool: 16.6 Nm (147 in. lbs.)
