carb question

[time2plow]

I am working on my brothers 135 and am attempting to rebuild the carb.
I ordered a rebuild kit from this site.
My question is what is the solonoid that screws into the bowl for ?
I dont think that this is working as I tried to jump it out with a 12volt battery and had no response.
I do not see this part for sale on this site, is it a dealer only part ? thanks for your help !

Hi,The solenoid shuts the fuel off when ign shut
off. If you want you poss could find a manual jet
from earlier production. Don't have my 135 parts
man.anymore but someone would have it. Chuck

that unit has movable needle that plugs the main jet when engine is turned off, prevents "run on"

when you start the engine the solenoid pulls needle out of the main jet, if solenoid is not moving the needle you may find the end of the needle cut off = farmers fix

mine was that way when I bot it, I just stall out the engine with clutch if it tries to run on

Thanks guys, I found a new one today at the dealer for a mere $74 !! I might try nipping the end off myself and save some money.

before you start clipping, look at your symptoms

if needle is there and solinoid is non-functional the engine shouldn't run, with no power a good one will be up and 12v will bring it down

if your tractor runs then maybe the unit is just gunked up and stuck in down position, some carb cleaner might free it up

The tractor will not run. I took the solonoid off and tried to jump it out with a fresh battery and it dosent pull the needle down.
The needle moves freely by hand just wont pull down with juice to it.
