Gentlemen,
Just a heads up on this.
I have now two failed OEM fuel solenoid that are new straight out their packaging and received recently. I am now out nearly $100 due to fact that the distributor is not allowed to warranty them and the local dealers will not honor the Briggs warranty because I didn't buy the solenoids from them.
They fail to retract; unless, you bump the pin. I even tried ordering an aftermarket version out of China and it does the same thing. I have tested them directly wired to a known good battery with the same results so it is not wiring problems. Just defective items mechanically.
Not a happy camper being ripoff by Briggs over their dealers and distributors refusal to honor the parts warranty. Going to try to get my own specialized Briggs dealer status then the local dealers can go you know where. Beside one dealer even promised me a 20% discount then called me with a price of 60.50 for the part even the list price is 58.50.
