Hello again,
Sorry for all my questions but until I am more familiar with the "ins and outs" of this machine I thought it better to ask before then after... the previous owner told me that the way he shuts the motor down on the 721D was to back the throttle all the way and then turn the key off-- his words. When I do this, the engine sputters a bit then shuts down. Before I purchased the machine from him, I did check with the mechanic who worked on it and he said he had told the previous owner that he needed to replace the fuel solenoid as the motor should shut down as soon as you turn the key off. I purchased a replacement solenoid to fix the problem, but before I tackled it, I wondered if this is a straight swap job or does it need to be " adjusted" after installation with tools I don't have... the basic solenoid body looks the same as does the wiring between the new and the old but the actual shaft and covering appear different between the two... I will try to take and upload some pictures of the new and the old one tonight but thought I would throw this question out for anyone with any suggestions.. .. as always, thanks for your time..
