Buying used solenoids. I bought a used Nitrous Express kit about 5 months ago. I was wondering if there is a way to test the solenoids to make sure they are in good condition before the kit is mounted and tuned for?
The reason I ask is because I imagine the solenoids are the biggest risk in buying a used kit. If its worth it to buy some new solenoids for piece of mind, I'd gladly do so. This is for a relatively small shot (75-100) and I've already purchased a NOS Mini progressive controller and will purchase an LNC-2000 before the kit is installed and tuned for as well.

All solenoids can be rebuilt.
If they were previously used on a progressive the seat may be dimpled that can obstruct flow....
If they were used for long periods the magnets can get weak...
Call NX they can either send you the parts or do the rebuild
