AVS Rebuilder

Vitamin c said

Well i just got off the phone with carbjunkys and wasnt real impressed. I asked if they would have a solenoid for a 70 avs and the answer was "no". The second comment was "you dont need it" and the third was " it was only used on air conditioning cars to raise the idle". So now the question is what 70 avs carbs had it and why. The carb i have clearly had the solenoid mounted on it.

Some applications over the years were indeed used with a/c to bump the idle under the extra load. Many though, and for your car, it was most likely used as a anti dieseling device. The solenoid set the idle and when the key is turned off, it allows the throttle blades to close and prevents run on.

I believe YearOne had them available at one time? Probably a little pricey though if there still available.
