Smart Parts Ion Solenoid Maintenance

So just as the title says this video illustrates how to clean out your solonoid. Alot of people are afraid to even take it apart but it is important for it to be cleaned.

I know i will get plenty of questions about this so here you go:

Clean the solenoid every few months or so, it may not even be necessary more than twice a year.

i need help removing the selenoid braket

[nopopallowed]

@fightkills just pull. There isnt any trick to it.

ey dude not to be a dick but ions dont have Solenoids. They have QEVs. ion is a spool valvue gun. if it was a pop-it valvue then it would have a sol.

[nopopallowed]

@TollMister sorry but you are wrong. This video is about the solenoid in an ion. A solenoid is just an armature that is reciprocated using an alternating electric field.

How much would a new solenoid cost, or could i fix one thats been co2 damaged?

[nopopallowed]

unlikely. You would probably have to buy a new board/solonoid. (the come together)

[BattleDrumz]

@MrPyroEnthusiast It could, but more likely it's your regulator. Give it a good cleaning and regrease it. Check out nopopallowed's video on it.

[MrPyroEnthusiast]

Would poor solenoid maintenance result in bad velocity consistency? Like 280,140,200,100, ect. Also would a bad QEV cause this?

@Ducatifreak999 it stipped the feed necks on my ions, so i bougt new feed locking feed necks and put a little jb weld on the threads before i screwed em in .you can barely notice it sounds ghetto but they have held for over 3 years now. your supose to use locktite when you install the feed neck before you have a problem .i stripped out the feed neck on my proto sent it to dye and they installed a feedneck with over size threads.hope this helps if not get new internals on ebay 30 bucks
