I do have an occasional howling by the fuel tank, which to my understanding is where that solenoid would be located. i’ll see if i can get my hands on a smoker for the intake. maybe it failed all together and there’s some kind of vapor lock?
i know this is a completely different animal but i’ve had it happen on my old vws
