Exclamation '76 Carburetor Solenoid problems

Hi. New to this forum, I've got a 76 CVCC wagon, that recently stalled. Took it to the mechanic, they identified the main jet solenoid as the issue. Problem is, they can't find the part w/ any of their suppliers. They have replacement carbs (Kehihn), but solenoid is missing wherever they look. Took a look at it after driving it home, the gasket for it was cracked. I'm trying to see if I can either find a replacement solenoid, or just the gasket, but no luck so far. Any ideas, or anyone with a gasket and//or solenoid they'd be willing to part with? I'm down to pay for it, or should I just be scouring junkyards at this point? Any help would be amazing, thanks.

- D

Can you make a gasket for it?

Hmm I will try. Would you suggest gasket dressing or an o-ring kit?
