Does anyone provide me with a close up picture of the wastegate solenoid for a 85 GN? I'm routing all the hoses on my basketcase that was in pieces when I bought it. My problem lies with my previously repaired solenoid ports. I'm not sure if it was done properly and when comparing all the schematics and views of the hose routings I am not sure if I have the correct hose hooked up. More specifically, what hose is attached to the port that located closest to the center of the engine? The port next to that, located more towards the fender, has epoxy over it. Also, there is a larger port, 90 degrees from previously mentioned port pointing to the fender, that looks like it was also epoxied around the outer edges, as if another tube was glued in it. I have been told this may have been a bleed hole that had a sponge or filter clipped in, but the port locations just don't seem consistant with the diagrams that I have been looking at.

Serenity now! Serenity now!
