Fuel Leaking past Cheater Solenoid!

Fuel Leaking past Cheater Solenoid!
So I just put a used universal EFI wet kit NOS 5131 to be exact which is a Pro shot NX noid and a Cheater Fuel running into the NOS soft plume nozzle, I currently am running the 125hp jets 65N and 38F. After I plumbed the kit and blipped it a few times the car became hard to start after sitting for 10-30 minutes, and a strong odor of fuel. I think I have figured that the fuel solenoid is leaking down, I have about 55 Pounds of fuel pressure off the rail, I checked it with a fuel pressure gauge, I am unaware of just how old this nos kit is, one thing, the bottle is of the blue anodize finish and not the blue painted style, so I bet it's less than 5 years old. Has anyone else had this happen? Any help appreciated.

The solenoid should be closed... so take the "out" fitting off the fuel solenoid and verify if it is leaking or not. If it is, disassemble it and clean it out. If it's not "leaking" by, then start checking the plugs. You could have fouled them during your test.
