Sorry; Van's make great planes, but their electronic tech skills (web and otherwise) are severely lacking. Type 'primer solenoid' in the search field. Their part number is EA 05-29823. Unfortunately, these cost $80 +shipping.

This is made to control fuel to primer ports on a carb'd engine, but would probably do the job. No idea how well it would survive the heat of the engine compartment, where it would need to be for a quick/clean cutoff. Maybe mounted low on the firewall away from the air exit, with the lines running uphill to the smoke port on the exhaust?

The last message that I seem to have received from the list was 11/19. this
is a test to see if I have inadvertently been dropped.
