Status: offline 		Hi new to turbines and have the following issue: I have an FTE 500 that does not get fuel to the motor checked the pump and works fine checked filters and all clear, now the solenoid for the fuel does not let the fuel into the motor, do these little guys go bad? and if so where do I get another one?


I live in the Tampa bay area if anyone can help me out here I would be glad to hear something

thanks,
Forrest

Status: online 		When thr fuel solenoid in my RAM 750 was damage, I talked to Carlos, and he told me
to try it without the solenoid. It worked so well, that since then I run iy without it. Gave
the turbine more power.
