They sell the diaphragms for the Hunter solenoids at Lowe’s. It’s a an easy fix.

Shut off the water to the box
Unscrew the four screws on the top of the solenoid
Remove the top and spring
Remove the diaphragm
Clean or wipe out inside
Replace with new diaphragm, reassemble in reverse order and turn water back on

Note, the diaphragm can’t be repaired, so buy the part before doing this. Scratches, cuts etc are not always visible with the naked eye.

Total cost for the project is 7 dollars and some coin.
