ouch...

i had a n20 solenoid stay open after a run myself a while back...
lucky for me as my bottle is right where i can get my hand on it so i can close it pretty quick(i close the bottle during every shut down)...
i need to get off my lazy *** and finish putting the 1/4 inch ball valve on the feed line,so i can close the n2o flowing from bottle even quicker as i shut down...

A little wire brushing and it will be just fine.


As long as you want to set your gap at .35"

i was driving down the road and hit it next to a suv full of girls and uh.. my car was really loud and i heard a SHHHHHHHHHH noise like my muffler was off and dragging behind the car. i was revving it and it was backfiring out the exhaust real loud. i went about a mile down the road before the car died. i got it started 2 hours later after letting it sit. when it died and i came to a stop i thought my rad was popped, so i opened the hood and saw my 14x3 was solid frost and i ran shut off my bottle. craked it a bit and sure enough SHHHHHHHHHHHHH spraying again. so... im gonna tear the solenoid apart soon and see whats up.

Yea, or get my foot out of it when the tail tail signs are at hand, when running a 285rwhp shot.
