Quote: I found a "307-2756" in Cummins warehouse in Portland, OR and had it shipped to me. Imagine my surprise upon opening the box to pull out an AFC Model 111 fuel solenoid. grrr
I find quit often that non-spec (aftermarket) parts are better built than the original parts. Often, someone like a motorhome builder, will put out a bid for 10,000 7,000 watt gen sets over a four year period not to exceed $xxxx.xx each for the four year period. The mfgs have to cut corners someplace to win the bid. Then when when they have a lot of problems with something like a fuel solenoid, they'll start selling a better part.
That's not always the case, but it certainly happens.
