That is dissapointing...

Please do this test with the LA, and then such, that the solenoid is BETWEEN the main needle and the carb.
For the purpose of this test it is acceptable to use longer tubing in order to get some distance between the solenoid and the engine.
The reason for doing it like this, is that with the solenoid unpowered, there is no pressure drop over the solenoid, instead the pressure drop is after the main needle.
IF the solenoid is leaking, but in the line before the main needle, there is no low-pressure, therefore also no bubbles.
With the solenoid, just for this test only, between needle and carb, the assembly will be subject to low pressure and any leakage will show.
IF leaking, there is the option of the solenoid being defective, or the housing can leak. The side tube (inlet) is glued in the housing, and there is despite my best efforts a possibility that this joint is leaking.
You can try sealing that joint by covering it all around with some Epoxy glue.
If the solenoid is defective, no other option for me than to send you a new one, but since I do this for zero profit, I would really like to be sure.
If you find the leak in the housing, I suggest you send that back to me, and I will exchange it without cost, but I like to have the housing in return so I can investigate and repair it.
I want to do my utmost to get you a working solution (and I am 100% convinced it WILL work, since I allready run gasoline now for 7 years and have never seen this issue) but as said, I do this for zero profit, I also would like to minimize my financial losses (no profit margin from which I can "buffer" these costs...).
