Nope, I was not aware that it had a solenoid valve. As logan 01 said, it's the prime suspect now.
It must be gummed up and the pull of the solenoid is not strong enough to pull the plunger down without help from the vibration of the engine.
Bingo!! Twas the solenoid.. I took it off and cleaned it, tested it , put it back on and Yreka!!! That baby fired right up and runs like a top..
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction..
Best regards to you all.
