I would take the plunger out of the coil, and place a rubber ring (5/16") on the plunger (near the end), so the plunger has less stroke.

I wouldn't do any electrical modifications for this.

Quoted from jwo825:

I think he means placing the ring here

This way the stroke of the plunger is shortened to compensate for the strong coil.

That is what I meant.
I have done this on Whitewater (lost mine vuk) and it works great.
