Default Testing solenoids......?

I've noticed a few threads recently with people suggesting having solenoids tested.

Can I test them myself or does a shop need to do it? How complex are we talking?

I have accumulated a decent collection of solenoids from various systems I've ran and now that Dave is building me another new one with new solenoids, I've decided to start selling my old systems. I don't want to post them though until I know the solenoids are good.

thanks

Kody

We charge $12.50 + parts to rebuild them... so if for some reason they are bad the max it will be is $52.00 each. If they turn out to be in good shape it will only be $12.50+ shipping!

Thanks,
Clay @NX

Ya Dave did a great job on that.

We will usually just check a solenoid for free. It takes very little time and really is a simple process. Just charge for any parts if its needed.

To the OP,

Take a crack at it. Its not hard and if you get them apart and dont feel comfortable send them to me. Ill go over them. But since your selling them I dont want shipping to eat into the coin you could make. Way to be a stand up guy and check them before hand sir!

Thanks Graham,

I'll probably pull them apart and if they are junk I'll keep them for parts otherwise if they are good I have a couple systems that would help some guys trying to get into the Nitrous game.

PS Make sure Dave puts a extra love into that Super Victor for me
