Abstract
An engine carburetor and a solenoid valve assembly therefor and methods of assembling the same. The carburetor has a body with a fuel and air mixing passage communicating with an air bleed passage. A cavity extends into the body for communication with the air bleed passage. A solenoid housing is received in the cavity and maintains a coil body for receipt of a valve body therein. The valve body moves between a retracted position to substantially open the air bleed passage and an extended position to substantially close the air bleed passage.
