Howdy all. Took advantage of the nice weather while I wait for a new
PDWA to replace the original heater valve on my 250. The operation was
flawless -- old valve came off nicely, as did the original (yes,
original) black and white striped hose. No problems whatsoever.
However, when I got everything hooked up and did a test, I noticed that
the top of the heater valve housing moved a bit when I pulled the switch
open and when I closed it. I know the new valves are stiff, but upon
inspection, it appears that the rivet wasn't seated properly, allowing
for some movement between the top and bottom portions of the housing.
This is allowing a tiny little bit of fluid to drip out. Any way to fix
this (perhaps using a pliers on the rivet) or is the replacement valve
hopeless? My father and I laughed about it. The operation went
flawlessly, but this justifies our general lack of trust for new
replacement stuff.
Thanks!
