Default solenoid Maintence???

well usually I put my car away for the winter, however this year we didnt really have a winter so I drove my car pretty much everyday still.

Now, being that I havent even used my nitrous since mid fall, I want to pull my solenoids apart and grease them up and such before the first time I spray in spring again so I dont end up with a sticking solenoid or anything. The solenoids on my car are less then a year old now with around 8 bottles through them and I have never had them apart. They are the HSW powermax bottom port solenoids.

What I am asking is, is there anything I can do for maintenance?

I would say blow em out with a air gun then spray with some wd-40.Make sure your screen on the inlet on the nitrious is clean.Also if you dont have a filter in line your main feed line I recommened u put one in.Let me no if your going to lebanon ill try make it,I like going to atco if u wont to go there.

I don't believe any of that is part of maintenance. Take them apart, inspect for debris, and the condition of the piston seal, and Oring.

Atco is a great track,track prep is second to none,bit more of ride for ya but worth the extra drive.There open now so if u decide let me no.I would put a inline filter right off the bottle.
