:thumbsup: What was the grit of the paste used?
0.5 microns
I polished the plunger by hand and paper towel. It only took 3 or 4 minutes to remove the scoring.
Inside the solenoid there is a fiber material which the plunger rides in. I did not see any damage to the fiber material or any dirt or debris. I did blow the solenoid out with air, just in case there was something I did not see. I did this prior to polishing the plunger and it made no difference. It took the polishing to get it the work properly.
Also I located zero signs of any type of factory lubrication of any of the moving parts, so I kept it that way. I imagine lubrication in this environment could vaporize and condense later on the bulb causing a not good result.
