If you moved the operating lever too far which allowed the metering valve to drop the solenoid will not engage the OD. You can remove the plug on the pressure port and with a magnet retrieve the valve, re-adjust the operating lever (solenoid), replace the valve and cap and give it a try. And a Jay Holekamp pressure gauge is a good investment.</p><p class=MsoNormal>JVV</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:dconnitt@fuse.net">Dave Connitt</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Saturday, July 17, 2021 9:06 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:deruiterville@hotmail.com">Randy and Valerie DeRuiter</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:artwmcewen@gmail.com">Art McEwen</a>; <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [TR] TR3 O/D Solenoid plate</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I agree with you Randy, he needs to get a pressure gauge and see if it’s building pressure.
