Can anyone tell me what the solenoid does in the center of this pic, as it doesn't look right to me with that bolt sticking out and looks like a bodge of some sort?

Factory Correct.

It is in theory to prevent running on when the ignition is turned off - it shuts the centre carb.

In other words a factory bodge.............

You very rarely see them as most have been dumped by owners over the years.

Thanks Pete. I'll leave it alone then, if only for originality.

I would, just as a conversation piece - I still have one on the Super Bee :thumbright:

If I was young, free, single and minted, I would have a hi rise intake with a six pak on top as an ornament in my living room instead of the girlie Bananarama! Mrs B puts in there.... =P~ =P~
