Default Nitrous Not used all the time, What to look for/Maintence

I have Nitro Daves Dual Nozzle Kit WET Kit, 100 Jets, NX Bottle Opener, NX Heater, NX Switch Pannel, FPSS, TR6's, Nitro Daves Big Show Purge, Blow Down Tube. etc etc

I don't drive all the time and when I do I am not able to spray it everytime I go joy riding , so my question is.

How do I know everyrthing is cool with my set up after it sitsf for a long time? Examples: Like Jets being clogged, Solenoids going bad, etc etc etc.

Is there anything to check on a consistent basis just to make sure my system is OK and nothing is going to Blow Up and mess up my car.

I love the juice and had it 7 months, but only sprayed about 5 times .................


Just wondering...........

Since once it installed it is a closed system, no real need to check much of it out. I recommend for safety as well as maintenance you use a nitrous filter, check and clean that periodically, twice as often (min.) as you change your fuel filter. Noids shouldnt be an issue unless you leave the bottle open with pressure on the noid all the time.

I use an airgun and blow it reverse direction, then check by blowing through it with my lungs, if I can breathe through it Nitrous can flow

YOu can actually take the NX one apart and clean the filet. Then just put it back in.

The best thing maintenece wise is before using just check and make sure both solenoids are clicking strong before using.
