hey you nitrous guys

i decided to get off my lazy ass and fix my n2o. looks like i have a leak. i used some sort of hardening something that looks like dried snot. it's been a long time and i honestly don't remember what i used.

my questions:

what eats away at glues so i can still use my leaking and gross fittings?

where can i find liquid teflon, i can't find it at lowe's or maybe it was home depot (i went to one but not both)?

my nitrous noid CLICKS, so it is receiving power and activating, but not spraying. i disconnected the bottom line and nothing comes out. however, i can purge just fine. wtf^^ mates?? maybe debris got in there? if so, is it ok to take the noid apart, or is there something i need to be careful about?

and who wants to give me their bottle heater? :P

and lastly, who wants sum'?

You can pull apart your solonoids and rebuild them, (recommended every 10 hours of use) you can buy a kit. You can check it for leaks by putting the outlet end of the hose in some water and charge the line with air (or n20) and watch for bubbles.
If it leaks REBUILD them. I have seen an intake blow up off of a car from starting it when the n20 solonoid was leaking. Pretty harsh. Try some carb cleaner to remove the glue.
