Thanks for the pics and videos; I am having no luck with freeing up the valve. I have tried the torch trick too with no success. The side with the weight seems to be free (it will move just a little bit up and down), but not the end with the spring. I’ll be taking it to a local machine shop for cleaning, if I cannot get it free, maybe they can. Or maybe with all the gunk off that will help free it up.
Lee.
