How exactly do I gut the shutdown solenoid?

[peytonmaterne]

There is a spring, sleeve and an o-ring in there. Everything comes out, right?

Spring and plunger come out. O-ring stays. That's the seal to keep fuel inside.

wat does this do any power gains or wat.... kinda new to the ve

[PToombs]

Not much, if any. What happens is if you start pushing big fuel, you chip the rubber tip off the plunger. Most guys then pull the guts and use a cable to the lever on the side.
The other thing is, the solenoid goes bad, so you pull the guts and go cable.
