A fuel metering valve, comprising:
- a bobbin having an inner surface that defines a passage, the bobbin having a valve seat at one end of the passage, the valve seat having a portion that is radially smaller than a diameter of the passage, and the bobbin having one or more voids in a surface of the bobbin that defines the passage;
- a wire coil around the bobbin;
- and
- an armature received within the passage in the bobbin and movable relative to the bobbin from a first position to a second position when electricity is supplied to the wire coil, wherein in one of the first position or the second position the armature engages the valve seat and in the other position the armature is spaced from the valve seat, and wherein the armature engages a portion of the surface that defines the passage that is circumferentially spaced from said one or more voids.
