Claim 14:
15. A method of assembling an electromechanical valve, comprising:
providing a housing having a cavity and a valve seat;
inserting a bobbin including a wire coil into the cavity, the bobbin defining a passage aligned with the valve seat;
inserting an armature into the passage such that the armature is movable relative to and engageable with the valve seat;
positioning an armature stop relative to the passage in a first position at a first distance from the valve seat, with the armature between the armature stop and the valve seat and with the armature stop positioned to be engaged by the armature at an end of travel of the armature;
actuating the electromechanical valve by providing electricity to the wire coil to move the armature away from the valve seat and into engagement with the armature stop;
providing a fluid flow to the electromechanical valve;
determining a fluid flow characteristic of the fluid flow into or out of the valve; and
as a function of the fluid flow characteristic, moving the armature stop relative to the valve seat to a second position that is at a distance other than the first distance, wherein the armature stop is press-fit to a portion of a housing and the step of moving the armature stop is accomplished by pressing and slidably moving the armature stop relative to the portion of the housing or by pressing and slidably moving the portion of the housing to which the armature stop is press-fit.
