Excellent advice deleted. I would add that one of the first things always
to check with Strombergs is the integrity of the rubber diaphragm. If it's
not seated correctly or if there are any tears or holes in it, that can
cause some or all the problems you describe. Make sure these are ok before
messing around with anything else!
