purge not working

I'm still new to this and I'm learnin as I go but tell me if this should be working. I open the bottle, and touch the two immediate wires coming off the purge solenoid to a 12v battery, solenoid clicks, but no air at all comes out of my purge lines. Should it still be working? There is a slight leak in the nitrous line but shouldn't it be purging a little bit?

Yeah it should be purging. If you hear the click and it isnt purging then the purge valve input is not getting nitous to it. Do you have it connected to the right output on the nitrous solenoid??

well I have the 5177 kit so it's kinda hard to not hook up the feed lines right the way the solenoids are mounted.

yeah I am sure there is someone out there that has hooked the purge solenoid to the nitrous output on the nitrous solenoid. Figured id ask him at least.
