Hi all...Great forum and I've learned a lot, but I searched the forum and could not find an answer and hoping for some help. I have a 1994 425 AWD with the early carburetor without a fuel shutoff solenoid. I want to replace the carburetor but can only find the version with the solenoid included for sale. Can I use the solenoid version and either leave it unhooked or is there a way to hook it up? Or does someone know where I can find the old version carburetor for sale? Also, can someone tell me what the rectangular unit with the 2 small hoses and large hose connected is? It has power to it and can't find it online. Sorry for all of the questions...Still learning. Thanks

I always knew I was destine to answer a question for Einstein.
I am not an expert however the solenoid gets power to retract and let fuel flow when the key is on so a hot wire from the key should work. I am not sure if there is a spot in the wiring diagram for this machine since it did not come with one. It is there to stop the fuel flow to prevent run on.
I have an 1800UTV with the same motor that this solenoid and a new one wreaked havoc with when starting. When I looked at the diagrams of the carb I found that this solenoid was removed for high altitude machines and would not leak gas if it was not there. I cut the end of the plunger off of it so it could not block the flow and it has ran and started great for many years.
