	Just for another reference point here, I have repaired a few feedback
carbs on GM vehicles where the M/C solenoid appeared to be malfunctioning. 
In those cases the only thing wrong was the O-ring at the bottom of the
solenoid bore was cracked or otherwise deformed.  The ring was not
standard, it had a little lip around the edge, and of course you can't buy
just the O-ring, you had to buy the whole solenoid kit.
