The rally would have been the opportune time to help you with this.  The solenoid has two coils inside, one is pull-in (white wire), the other is hold-in (red wire), black is negative.   The pull-in can only be energized for a short period or you’ll let the smoke out!   Disconnect the rod from the slug.  When the slug is pushed all the way in, pull the rod from the injection pump back until it stops, it should extend past the mating hole by 1/8”.  This insures the slug can bottom out without being held back by the pump’s maximum stop.  Occasionally, the slug can get sticky from dirt build up, make sure it is clean and only lubricate with dry lubes.

Richard, you are a good student…..and a great instructor!
