580k fuel solenoid

i start up did some work .. turn it off start it back up in less than a minute its ok run good but if i let it set for longer and go back turn key no go .. no fuel

i disconnect the connector solenoid .. got power /on. if i re connect i dont hear that little click of the solenoid engage


i pulled it off , the little tip not sticking smooth action . if i connect power the tip dont pop in but if you just gently touch the tip it pops in . bad unit??

i put it back on, put on the connector while the power still on , now i hear the click . maybe just a fluke got stuck .. ten minutes later i turned it off . quick try turn back on all a o k but again wait a fwe minutes wont start no fuel i pulled it out again played with it put back in works what the hell if i releive the pressure of fuel just by backing it out n tapping the pwer wire to it its has the click ,tighten up starts right up?? crap

parts catalog shows a spring up in there ???? how you get a spring to stay in there while installing ?? i never saw any spring when i pulled off the old one .. the part in question part put on last year casual backhoe user
