same here :cool:
what is the difference between accurates and the ones they sell at auto-zone and are the accurates really that much better i have used them before but never in a hopper i have 6 in my homeboys t-bird and i have used 4 of the ones they sell at auto-zone on a regal hopper with 8 batteries and the first hit they went to shit :angry: so if i use accurates i can run 4 of those and no problems :dunno:

thanks for the response. what kind of soleniod you runnin? i usally get what ever kragen has with a 2 year warrenty ( i haven't paid for one in years,lol)
i was talkin to the fork lift tech at work today and he has a 36v all metal (no plasitc china crap) looks just like a starter soleniod he says he wil hook me up with for $25 a pop, i think i will get a few and see what happens, bbuutt then i will have to runn my switches at at least 36V to operate them.

everybody keep the responses coming, thanks
we run accurate soleniods.we use to run prestolite blocks but recently the've been shitty.as far as gears been using #11 for a few years.

what do you think of the "accumax" that bought out accurate???
had them running 96 voltz for a couple months now on my front pump ( running 4 noids) and haven't had any problems , still got the same motor and pumphead too,,, once you learn to hit the switch right everything last alot longer

Well I was refering to the accurate solenoid before they changed to accumax or whatever.

My wife's car is running 4 solenoids to 7 batteries, single to the nose. I have noticed that running them in a certain position makes them not stick as often. Also, make sure you are running your switches on a set of batteries that are not being used for the pumps and that helps a lot also. That way you always have good power to your solenoids. If you send weak power to your solenoids, then they start sticking. I would say try it and see how it works for you. Good luck homie. :biggrin:

looks like i am gonna order som accurates, i was running 72 volts and had two sepperate batteries for the switches(8 total, now i want all 8 to the face), but now i want more power. the same niods, same location they have been in for years, they just couldn't handle the 96 volts.

thanks for all the replies

I wouldn't post that up if it weren't true. I have to orange monte carlo. Watch this video and listen to the pump when I miss.. That ain't no 72 volts! I broke a bolt to my front cup, so i had to stop.

my car
and monty c, thats a nice video, has some nice cars in it. i would like to see more of your car, looks clean. what i am saying is me-and everybody i know-- have never been able to run more than 6 batteries with only 3 seliniods, but then again most of us have been runnig what ever the auto parts store has in stock. i think its pretty amazing that you are able to run 10 batteries straight- on only 3. i am gonna get on the prohopper web site right now and order me a few accurates. :biggrin:
