Hi all
I'm new to electronics, so I hope there is a simple solution to this..
I've designed and build this circuit for driving a solenoid.

A few things are different from the image, the 1K resistors are 2K2 insted, and I'd like to run it on a 12V 800mA adaptor (gives about 15.25V, and about 5.25 at the 3K3's voltage split)
The solenoid gives a good kick when connected directly to the adaptor, but thru the circuit it seems that all the current is gone!
Is it because of the low gate voltage or!?!
Regards.
