If the lever from the solenoid to the operating shaft--the one with
the cam that actuates the valve--wasn't cinched down properly it
could cause the symptoms you describe. I've never been entirely
comfortable with this type of arrangement, where you have a
pinch-type clamp on a shaft with no flat spots or splines to prevent
slippage (I guess it works well enough most of the time). I've seen
instances where the bolt on the clamp bottomed-out before the clamp
was secure (note the 'test' lever on the right side has a pin
through it).<br>

We're spitballing here, right?<br>

appreciated.<br>
