Yes I currently have a leak from my solenoid it is leaking from the side where there is a hole with a small ball bearing any info would be great

I had same problem an went through 2 brand new noids 160$ a piece and the both did the same thing. I gave up. I'm not getting another geo unless I can get a good deal on a 3

[tegan765]

Reason I say that is geo, geo+, geo2 and 2.1 have the same noid

Your problem is the solenoid manifold. It is essentially the "housing" of your solenoid. You can get a new one for about $30. Jut put you're spool shaft and pilot in the new housing.

Try not to tighten the solenoid mounting screws too hard or it cracks the manifold.

I tried 3 different noid housings as well!!! As well as different noid gaskets. I couldn't tell ya what was wrong with that thing. Guys at the eclipse booth at cup told me to just not worry about it. Just shoot it

But leaks drive me crazy

I have a new geo noid I never ended up using. Pm me if you need it.

Hmm. Odd, I can't believe they would have said that. Normally, the manifold only needs to be replaced (as stated above).

Just a note replaced housing no more problems

Went through 2 new housings still leaked out the silver ball on the side

It is also possible that your reg is supercharging. The solenoid will vent to protect itself. Lower / service your reg with a new manifold, and make sure the spool pack is clean and clear of debris.

Otherwise, I would contact Gerry at the Planet Eclipse Rhode Island office, especially if someone at an event told you to just ignore a leak. gerry.b@planeteclipse.com is his email, he's also active on the forums.

All GEO and GEO+ owners should take note that the solenoid housings are EXTREMELY EASY to crack from over tightening! Not only will the side hole crack apart, but the center hole is also very easy to crush. Besides the main screw holes, the ball check, spool and pilot can also be easily overtightened and cause tiny cracks that might be had to see. Unless you are sure you are having a solenoid problem, don't even bother messing with it. I previously owned a GEO+ and learned after going through 2 solenoid housings.
