Nitrous fuel solenoid leaking. Help>>>>> I have a throttle sticking problem in a previous thread and someone suggested that i move the nozzel position alittle, well upon taking off the airlid and stuff i noticed that i had fuel in the throttle body. I have not run nitrous in a week and the nozzel was wet so i know its leaking.
Is there a way to fix a solenoid or do i have to purchase another one.
Thanks.

I would take the noid apart and look for debris and re-assemble after inspecting the coil for hot spots. If that doesn't do it I would remove the noid until you get it rebuilt or replaced or at the very least not spray. If the noid were to stick wide open you take the chance of washing the cylinder walls w/ fuel and if it were to stick closed, well, we all know what would happen.

Its a good idea to inspect/rebuild the fuel noids on a regular basis. The fuels we run have cleaning agents in them, and can lead to fouling at the plunger.
Its also not a bad idea to put a manual shut off valve upstream of the noid to prevent fuel from contacting it unless you are gonna use it. Its a hassle but the noid will last longer.
