When i bought my car a wet shot kit was already installed but it hadn't been used for a long time...

Now i want to start to use it in the spring

I am wondering how do i check to make sure that everything works right without blowin' it?

mainly the solenoids. should i just replace them and be on the safe side?

 

How old are the solenoids? Since you do not know the history of the Solenoids I would rebuild them at the least. Figure $15 per solenoid to prevent a potential heap of trouble down the road is worth it.

There is a quick, easy way to check the solenoids. They are magnetic. Unhook the bottle and fuel line and turn the window switch off. Arm the system, and while holding a knife (or something metallic) over the top of the solenoid hit the switch. The knife should get pulled to the solenoid if it's working right.

However, like stated above, if you don't know much about them you might just want to get them rebuilt to be safe.

 

How does this check to ensure theres no trash in them to cause them to stick open?


If you want to check it, just hook everything up, hold the nozzle towards some small animal you don't like, and test it. Bottle closed first, the bottle open....its not a difficult process.

yes i am most worried about junk being in the solenoids! Should i just buy new solenoids or rebuild them?

 

It doesn't. He asked how to tell how if they still worked.

But yeah, to make sure the junk is out of them, what you said.

 

or you could just take them apart and look

all it takes is the right tool.

I wouldn't worry about the fuel solenoid, I would be worried about the nitrous solenoid, especially if it has a rubber plunger. Fuel vapors kill the rubber plungers. They might work, but if the plunger is bad, it won't flow enough nitrous. You can have the solenoid flow tested, or you can try out the kit and see if it works. If it busts up, you'll be needing a new plunger in the nitrous solenoid.

 

Its a relatively painless process to take the solenoids apart to inspect them. Feel free to shoot me over a PM and I'll walk you through it if need be. You won't need any special tools either...you can just double nut the towers to back them out. Just pay attention to the internal parts.

The tool just makes it easier.......If the right tools didn't make a difference an adjustable wrench and a pair of pliers is all you would need to work on your car.

No problem! We just got hit with 60*'s today...kind of strange for the northeast.
