Didn't work when connected the first time. Old one still worked so using that one. Not planning on replacing it now after what the cost was. 2 day priority shipping at extra cost turned into 5 day.Now still attempting to get RMA number for a return.

Solenoid did not work as it had sat for about 4 years without running gumming it up. Gas shot into carb flooding it out whenever I shut down the motor.

Two screws that hold the tank in. Drilled out the top for the vapor separator. Attached fuel, and fill with gas.
The fuel solenoid was was just a replacement. Took me longer to get the wrench than to do the job it self.
