Default What happens if the bottle is closed on a wet kit?

For testing purposes, I'd like to know my fuel solenoid works as it is supposed to. With the N2O bottle closed, can I put in the smallest jets into my fuel side and make a few test runs? I assume it will just bog once the noid opens... anything else to worry about?

I figure that I could just rev the engine with the N2O line off to check that noid... but I don't want to spray fuel all over the place

With my limited knowledge(learning), I'd imagine you'd jus dump a bunch of extra fuel into the motor and bog it down till you stopped

Cool... no, I don't plan on running it long. Just long enough to know that the noid is opening like it should when it should.

How about unhook the lines and put the fuel line in a can. Have your buddy in the car and rev to your set rpm on the window sw (if installed) and you hit the full throttle sw with your finger (if installed) and there you go.

One time I was about to make a pass and I activated the system but I forgot to turn the bottle on. Half way through the pass my car started pinging and my car fell on its last leg. I pulled off to check everything and the car reeked of fuel. The car stumbled around for a bit after that but I got lucky and everything was okay. I was running some pretty big pills though... I am sure with the smallest pill possible, it will be okay. I wouldn't make a habit of it!

That's the plan... Once (If) NX sends me my D-3 fuel line like they were supposed to, I'll be in business

Listen to Tim98Z. That's the "correct" way to do it.

How about unhook the lines and put the fuel line in a can. Have your buddy in the car and rev to your set rpm on the window sw (if installed) and you hit the full throttle sw with your finger (if installed) and there you go.
after disconnecting your lines and placing the fuel line to empty into the can, swap out the ON pill on your window switch (mine is 3k rpms) for a small (1") piece of wire to touch both sides of the plug that the pill was touching this is only to keep from having to rev the engine at all afterwards I just turned the car on and pressed the WOT switch with my finger and Walah!

This is the complete way I tested mine out it was kind of late and my neighbors usually complain about my exhaust notes, therefore I couldn't throw any revs to reach the rpm's needed to fully activate my system

or you could always leave the fuel noid connected to your fuel rail and hook the noid up to a ground and battery and watch the fuel squirt out
