1998 Yamaha XJ900 Diversion fuel pump gave up the ghost. Upon inspection I found there’s a clip missing from the 5mm diameter solenoid spindle. The clip opens the points when the solenoid is energised and the spindle displaces.
Has anybody got any idea what this clip looks like?
I can find round wire clips, online, but only down to 6mm diameter shafts. An external circlip, that small, is not an option.
I’ve fitted a E clip for now, but this is loose fitting and I had to crimp the clip closed to stop it falling off. I’d prefer a more secure clip, but what?
