air solenoid on Supersaver

[Jimmy Buffett]

I have an air solenoid that is leaking on my tri-foam function. This is particularily troubling since my compressor locked up and I'm trying to limp throuh on a portable till my replacement gets here. Does anybody know if that is a proprietary part? Surely they don't make their own solenoids. Does anybody know? I won't be back there until this afternoon but I would love to get it ordered today if possible.
Thanks

Did you try to take the valve apart and cleaning it? Maybe it would help to slow it down or even stop the leak!

I have not taken it apart yet. Having a compressor down has me dancing as fast as I can. Being the mechanical genius that I am I crimped the hose and put some zip ties on it to stop the leak and just closed the bay. My ss is really slow in this heat so it's no big loss for the time being. I was hoping to replace it and then clean it up. I just don't know what to order.
Thanks

Can you post a picture of it?

if it is a single valve with one electric coil, then just order another one the same size pipe wise and make sure the coil has the same voltage and replace, no big deal on air foam systems
If it is a block manifold valve system with multi coils, if it is leaking thru the port to the hose going out just plug the outlet and install a single coil valve with the same voltage and do away with the bad part of the coil on the multi-coil solenoid.
if it is leaking at the bonnet the coil slips over which holds the spring and needle valve than you might have to get a new valve!

I'll take a picture when I get there later. I'm not sure I'm smart enough to post it. I know I'm not smart enough to know what robtl is talking about. I speak Kentucky but I didn't understand any of that!
