Gas Chain Troubles: Simmer Only

I'm trying to assist a friend of mine to troubleshoot his gas train. He has a Maxitrol RV53 and a Honeywell V88A, they are hooked up to Baso L62AA-5 Safetys.
  • The pilot is lit.
  • All the flutes have a small blue flame upon call for heat. The emphasis on SMALL.
  • I have opened the Maixtrol cap and tightened down on the "PLATED" spring, --- no change.
  • I have checked the voltage at the solenoid on the V88A .. 24VAC
  • I have removed the bleed valve tubing on the V88A .. --- no change
  • The solenoid is very WARM to the touch
  • I do hear the audible click of the solenoid at call for heat.
  • I have NOT put a manometer on the line.
We are going to 1st attempt to replace the solenoid as that seems to be least invasive. Last season, this was a roaring beast, now, a small simmer.
