So, wet kit went on fine, sprays fine, solenoids/relay click on/off fine, but there's a problem. When the fuel system has pressure and the N2O system is off, we leak fuel out the nozzle. With the kit apart and the nozzle in my hand, i can see it drip. Anyone have any idea's? Has this happened to you?????

New solenoid? Sounds like the seal on the plunger is bad.

 

brand ****'n new. i guess i should send it back to NX?

 

I would. Thats the only thing to let it leak. Good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

son of a bitch

 

If you don't want to hassle sending it back, you can disassemble the solenoid and try to clean it. It comes apart pretty easily. There may just be a tiny piece of trash stuck inside it. Just be careful about what kind of solvent you use inside the solenoid. Heck, a blast of compressed air may do just the trick by itself.

Or, you could just have NX send you a replacement...

 

thanks for the response george. when i get home tonight or tomorrow ill see how hard it is to tear down without the wrench. i wonder if they'd mind me driving the 2 1/2 hours to their HQ and asking them there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

ditto on what george said...undo the nut at the top, pull the magnet switch off, then unscrew the base. I'm betting a piece of dirt/teflon got in the seal...clean it off and you should be good to go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

I had my nitrous solenoid leaking slowly out the the coil side of the valve. I put some aircraft grade sealant around the gap to see if that helps. All it did was bleed out the gas when I felt the bottle open.

 

NX has a lifetime warranty on all there solenoids. I would just send it back and they will get you a new one.
