The piece in the second picture that has 2 wires connected to it is the fuel shut off solenoid.

Don' loose the little spring and plunger when you change it out.

Ok thanks the one i bought wont fit there and i coudent get any thing out of that hole once i got the solenoid off do you all got any ides or tips on how to get old spring and plunger out

its possible that it was gutted by the previous owner already, you should be able to see the spring in the hole if its in there. I've used a small screwdriver to help wiggle the plunger out before.


The shut off solenoid is the same as what is used in the old VW diesels, search for those and you can find them for about $10. many people here including myself are using the cheap VW ones without much issue, for the price buy two and keep one for later.

threading the solenoid back in can be difficult sometime, theres not much room for fingers in there.

rebal

the spring and plunger should be in the solenoid if not some one removed them and that would explane why it wont shut off

Yes the wire was on there when i bought it i will take it back apart tomaro and try again. And thanks for the info on the vw i had a lot of problems just finding this solenoid. Will get one for spair soon to
