Replacing an A7 valve

[Gramas]

Pumped tubes up ready for tomorrow and one of the valves has gone, it's jus not closing so spewing air right out, the other 2 are fine
How easy are they to fix/service

You tried giving the little spindle in the middle a twist?

[Gramas]

Yeah just read up about that ..... Doh !!!! Give it try after my dinner!

Hope this is cause, if not just another nightmare for me

They are pretty simple to rebuild with the kit. A few minutes each valve. Il put my money on it not being seated properly.

I won't tell you how I know

B7 is basically the same as the A7 but Sellotape some strong thin thread to the screw thread at the same time as the tape on top so as not to lose the valve in the tube
