The thing with solenoids is that they can tend to act like amplifiers when you disconnect them, at that point there is a surge of energy that can "bite" you and I have had it happen numerous times.
Not saying this is what happened, but it's as plausible as anything else we've discussed.
Personally, I'd just look the rest over, then replace the seals, cam plate, rollers and the springs, then give it another whirl.

Hopefully the springs won't break the bank. I am gonna get all 4 springs. I got the rebuild kit this yesterday so hopefully they have the rollers, camplate, and springs in stock. Might even grab a 3200 rpm spring while I'm in there 
You wouldn't by chance have the spring height would you? I wonder if you have to recalibrate the pump if you put a 14mm head on? I thought about getting the 4 mm camplate but I have heard too many bad things about it.

I think I am just gonna get the injectors replaced with some 5 x 12s. I really am at a loss as what else could be the problem. Only part in my pump that is left from the original is the case. I bought a used pump with a broken ear off the case and a broken governor lever with the same serial number and swapped all the internals into my case. My distributor plunger springs were .010 shorter than the other case. Any ideas fellas?
