Hi All,
I've tried to pressurise a barrel for the first time, only to find that the valve is not injecting the CO2 into the barrel.
Its a youngs valve that holds the small charger capsules and hasn't been used for several years (in fact, I suspect it may have been faulty even before it came to me!)
Does anyone have any ideas about how I may get it working again? Would soaking it in in WD40 help? What about sterilizer?
Any advice would be gratefully received...
 
+1 the s30 valves without a pin are very similar..

also check the rubber band (pressure release valves) prvs are not stuck and are flexible, most hb shops sell em

and some have found with new ones they have not been tightened to seal properly..

good luck
