I think I explained this badly. The picture showing the shaft extending and pushing the points up is with pressure on the shaft. at rest, it is where it should be. But, somehow upon returning to the out of OD position, it extended enough to hit the top of the case and force the points to either side of the shaft. It hung up there, held by the arms holding the points.

My question is whether the shaft should be able to travel that far in the wrong direction, and if so, what would cause it to do so? Does the shaft has a positive stop, or can it normally be pushed in the wrong direction and travel that far.

I have attached a fairly poor quality picture of the solenoid at its normal unpowered position.
