2000 Seadoo GTX 951 Rave Solenoid Check Valve

[SIMPLEARKANSAN]

Checking all of my check valves and the hose from front of rave solenoid ties into fuel tank check valve up front. The rear hose goes to a metal check above the impeller. I could blow through it both ways. Is this normal or should it be one way also?

Are you having trouble with the raves or just testing? I was messing with a rave solenoid a few months back and was having the same questions you do. I have 3 of those valves and the ones I checked I could blow through. I guess that line going overboard is a discharge line which may close during activation and pressure up the rave system to open the valves. Sounds logical so I think you're OK.

I think it’s normal for that one to be able to blow air both ways. It’s called an atmospheric valve or something like that. I found several posts on different forums. I looked over the service manual
And couldn’t find any info on it. I could locate it on a parts diagram. I was just checking all the fuel check valves and saw that one.

I've bought those black Rave solenoids for WAY CHEAP... not like the green ones for the DI. Good Luck !!!
