Bill,
Your problem is almost certainly the little three-legged
thingie at the bottom of the bore. I had my sessions with that
thing! There's a real Rube Goldberg machine down in there!
The three legs provide the clearance that lets the valve
open. And they wear out in time. Either they get rubbed
down, or corrode, I don't know which. To be sure everything's
copacetic, replace:
* the three-legged thingie
* the thin flat washer behind it
I really wonder why this stuff isn't included in
so-called ``rebuild kits''.
