Steve,
I haven't seen any replies to your email. So I'll take a stabe at the air
door problem.
1. You say: "find that my solenoid screw doesn't want to move".
Are you refering to the screw on top of the brass cover of the solenoid,
where
the large nut is?
If so, that's the wrong place.
Look at the bottom of the solenoid. There should be a small screw, like
the
carb adjusting needles, with sirrated edges. If you can't turn them in
- to
slow down the doors, and out to speed up the door, they screw into a
fitting/
seat that screws into the solenoid. So take a wrench and unscrew the
fitting.
Once it's out you can put it in a vice and try some pliers on the screw.
But
I'm supprised that it won't move. They are not screwed down tight so they
really shouldn't stick.
Now because they don't stick, the door down speed has a tendency to NOT
stay
fixed. You might want to try putting some lock-tite on the threads of
the needle
valve. I also went to the hardware store and got some very small O
rings and
put a couple of them on the the needle valve also. The theory here is
that the
rubber will increase the friction and keep the needle valves set.
If you got any other answers privately, or got the problem fixed, how about
posting
them so we all can learn.
Can't help with the air induction. I've seen an induction hood for sale,
but that's
all I know.
