Andrew,

I presume they are sticking closed, not open?

I've seen some where the brass seat has a sharp edge that grabs the viton,
locking it shut.

I take a small center drill and break the sharp edge by hand.   That seems
to help.

3 to 4 psi is plenty high enough.   I run closer to 2 psi on mine.

Jason
