Fuel Solenoid Shut offs

So, in the process of taking the carbs off the bike, AGAIN! Both wires on both fuel shut off solenoids snapped as I was unscrewing them. Is there an alternate fix to buying new ones? Or should I just suck it up and pay for them?

Actually I don't think there is a tip over switch on an 1100. I believe they are only there to keep the cats from getting flooded with fuel.

Many, self included, were able to carefully, resolder the wire into the solenoid.. somewhere on here or 650 cc&d there's a how to... if you do solder I recommend you solder a pigtail in there, with a bullet connector, do you can unplug em, and avoid the issue next time.. of you don't find the how to, I can type you through it..

I know this is an old thread but repairing the broken wires is an easy fix. You need a Scribe, solder splice, heat gun, solder, soldering iron, some heat shrink tubing,, bullet connectors and crimp tool. I finish it off with some heat shrink tubing. I've repaired a lot of them. If interested, I'll go through the process.
