We want to thank you all very much for all your information. After replacing the ignition solenoid with heavy duty we believe our fuel solenoid is probably going bad. Good news we have some large cable ties if need to tie it up. And we know which two white wires on the ignition solenoid to unhook to keep the dash power on. Thanks to plan. We have 1200 miles to get home to Montana so we are asking for prayers. When we  are home then I can replace fuel solenoid. We have the original one I believe which is no longer made. So now we have to order the new style, but does anybody know where we can get the older style so we don't have to change all of the brackets are?

Thanks again

James and Suzi

James and Suzi,

To match your fuel shutoff solenoid, you need to look at the mounting bolt spacing on the old solenoid, and the shape of the 3 pins inside the electrical connector, and the rod end design.  Your old solenoid should be either 2.5" bolt spacing OR 3.0" bolt spacing.  The pins inside the connector can be either flat or round.  The rod end can be plain or Heim joint.

Whichever type solenoid you need, Larry B's probably has you covered.  They sell quality parts!  If you have any questions, call them and ask.  They are good people.  Check out their selection:

When you go shopping for parts for your coach, be wary of buying of cheap knockoff parts.  Read the cautionary tale linked below:

That video in post 13 really helped me put it all together. The Larry B part is working great for me and he actually answered his phone and promptly responded to texts. He also shipped quickly.

James and Suzi, I have the same year coach and although mine is a 270 I would think the fuel solenoid would be the same...Larry B's solenoid came with a new bracket but it fit my old bracket just fine.

Contact him with your coach/engine info and he will fix you up.

I used the original bracket as well.
