Taps bennett pump question

[Tige fox]

Hi guys can anyone tell me my pump has one solenoid it's a v351 but when I look the pump up it shows two solenoid swill that still work ,if not what would I be looking for . Thanks

All Bennett pumps have two solenoids.

I've attached a picture of the Los pump is that not a single solenoid ? Or is that round thing not the solenoid at all? Sorry I'm no that good with these types of things image.jpgimage.jpg

Ha! Instead of replacing the pump, someone ran a tee and pulled the bad valve out. Creative but not correct. When you replace it, there will be a red wire in the mix and it should also be on the wire harness.

Your pump is correct. Tige did it that way from the factory. You have one solenoid and two fluid lines because of one plate but two rams.

My 22i is set up the same way, only i have two valves. I've always wondered why. makes sense tho. now that i think about having one plate w/ two rams

[Tige fox]

Ok so do I need to run another line or can I plug new pump into exsisting harness .

[Tige fox]

Or should in not use the extra solenoid and if so do I cap it off ? Again sorry to sound stupid but I just have know knowledge of this stuff .thanks everyone for the input and info

Only use one solenoid and use the "T" for the fluid lines also.

Thanks Lee I'll give it a shot now just have to wait for,pump to arrive

Call Bennett. I was in the same situation and they swapped my dual solenoid pump for the direct tige pump

I had my original factory single solenoid pump fail also, due to water getting into the system. The cause was failed seals in the pistons. I called Bennett and they sent new O-rings at no charge and I purchased a new single solenoid pump and swapped it out. Everything was working properly, but my gauge wasn't working. I troubleshot it using my meter and it was open, no resistance. I purchased a new ram that has the sensor inside (coil with fine copper wires). I had to modify the ram since the plastic molding below the copper coils was too long. This was a real pain in the but, but I was able to accomplish it and now my gauge works again. Lots of work to get there, but nice to have everything working. Hopefully this will last the remaining boat years since I take good care of things and the previous owner did not.
