ZX stop solenoid

[froggy]

Hi, just changed the stop solenoid in my ZX. Bought it from Ebay !! When I turn the engine off it takes a few seconds to stop . You can almost feel the engine starving itself of fuel ! I guess its the wrong one ? Will it matter if I keep it? thanks in advance Terry .

That's odd.

I'd say its either sucking air in (unlikely) does it run / idle nice and smooth ? (if so its not that in most cases)

Or the solenoid pin is not quite long enough, I'd say it may not be shutting it right down so there's constant but highly reduced flow so it takes a second to stop, I would suspect its actually being slowed down to the point of stalling but the effect is the same.

Lucas or Bosch pump ? , does it stop immediately with the manual stop lever on the pump ? , if not (certainly on a Lucas pump) that can point towards the idle / anti stall being setup quite wrong.
