Here's how to dissassemble a
Decco solenoid. Coils on
Decco 01 and 02 models
are held in place by a white
nylon clip. To remove the
coil, slide the nylon clip
out by squeezing the lock-
ing ears together and push-
ing the clip out of the "C"
stack.
Once the clip is out, lift
the coil off the post at the
bottom of the "C" stack and
remove it.
When re-installing a coil
in Decco 01 and 02
solenoids, push the nylon
clip all the way in, in
"belly-up" position as
shown. Make sure the
locking ears snap out-
ward to lock the "C" stack.
On all other Decco solenoids,
unscrew the two sides plate
bolts, spread the side plates
from the bottom, and swing
them up and off. Slide the
coil out one side of the "C"
stack. (It can only slide one
way.) Replace the rubber
bumpers in the backstop
when re-assembling.
Since the "C" stack and
plunger surfaces wear and
match each other, they must
be re-assembled exactly the
the same way they came
apart. Reversing a plunger
will cause chattering. Mark
one side of the plunger and
"C" stack with a grease pencil
or chalk before disassembling.
