I, It looks to me that you are going a touch overboard on the cushioned
cart. I don't understand why you are going to such extremes to reduce
vibration. BTW, how do you plan to turn the cart? Its going to be tough to
maneuver.
Good luck with the solenoid!

My saga goes on. The solenoid that I bought from Onan turned out to be
completely wrong. The correct one costs, drumroll, $370 something. I
almost fainted when I heard that. WTF!

I am going to go to McMaster-Carr today (they have an office 30
minutes from me) and pick up a 12V DC 1" linear pull solenoid of
similar dimensions. The pull force is 80 oz, which I hope will be
enough. The solenoid draws 11 watts (1 amp), which I hope won't
overload the control system. I will have to do some "metalworking" to
fit an adjustable nut on it and fit it into the system, but I am
hopeful.

I am building a cushioned carriage for it, see my progress at

I also added a 1/2"ID NPT pipe and a ball valve for ease of draining
oil. See the bottom if this pictu

Let me know how that works for you, and the exact McMaster/Karr
stock number, as I want to convert my MDJA and DJA over to Injector
Rack Shutdown from Compression Release Shutdown.
