Just added another note to the picture about doing basic test on the coil. Maybe worth doing before you buy another.

Hmm, it cut out again whilst decelerating after a 100 mile motorway run. I'm still suspecting one of the soleniod coils.

Although mine did something similar to that before I overhauled the vapouriser and it cured the problem, this post is worth a read:

It's also possible that the brown residue left behind by the LPG could also be causing the membrane to stick.

Also if you have time read up on / google the following search term combinations....
DFCO deacceleration LPG
DFCO deceleration LPG

as they might help.

Although injector / carb cleaner is widely available and known about I don't use it to clean delicate components because I don't know what's in it. I use IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol). Specifically Electrolube ULS400D which comes in 400mL spray cans. See cpc.co.uk. I've used it for 20 years and all manner of delicate plastic and electronic components.
