Default Testing Noids

I haven't used my spray in a while so i decide to test my noids and have a question. I am connecting my fuel solonoid directly to the battery and can hear it click but there is no fuel comming out of the line even when the car is on. Is there something wrong with it?

Not sure on that one.
I made sure there was 12v on the wire.
Test only one solenoid at a time.
Make sure you feel it click, pulling the piston up and then release the 12v and make sure it releases the piston. Be quick as the fuel and nitrous keeps the internals cool enough not to bind.

if its hooked up to fuel and u connect the noid to the battery fuel should come out...if your trying to see fuel through the nozzle that will be tough...i test mine by disconecting the line from the nozzle and opening the noid and see if any fuel comes out....put the hose in a bag or something though so you don't get fuel all over the place

Thats similar to what happened with my NXL. I tested each one, and the Electro Magnets (outer hats) were good. But no matter which hat I used, the fuel would not click open and allow fuel to flow. So, sent them in, the repaired them, and no awaiting install again. For the cost of shipping its a good deal, just make sure the electro magnet is good. You can put it on a nitrous tower and see if it pulls it open. Their warranty does not cover Electro Magnets.
