Thanks for jumpin' in Alvin. That plunger really is a rough seal
isn't it. It's more of a simple restriction rather then an
actual shut off. I would have expected some sort of a tapperd
seat, along the same lines of a valve & seat. I'm guessing that
the prongs are just to keep it centered in the bore. I see you
straightened them up, how do you suppose they get bent like that??
