Default Cheap source for Primer Solenoid

http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-...m=300308805474

I found this while looking for a solenoid that would handle more pressure than the Parker b2dx62, my homebrew smoke system was jamming the parker valve closed.

I bought one and will report back after testing.

Default smoke syst

What pump are you using on your home brew smoke system. I am building one and bought the pump the smoking airplane guy uses and it puts out 60 psi. The selonoid is rated at 25 psi. I called the pump manufacturer and they said not to pump oil with that pump so I am planning to change to a facet fuel pump 6psi. What is the pressure of your pump?

Thanks

I have used the facet pump made for diesel engines with good success.
