hi there,
when inflating using my foot pump, the pump sometimes resists movement & the gauge reaches 80psi. something appears to be getting stuck. any idea what it could be?
i know i can buy another pump for $4 from Herbor Fright, but this was a quality pump & i would like to try to dismantle and clean it if possible.
thx
The message from beerismygas contains these words:
The connector isn't reliably pushing down the bit on the valve stem to allow the air to go into the tyre. What you're seeing is the pump pressurising the flexi pipe 'cos there's nowhere for the air to go to.
Try being a bit more forceful when you fit the bit to the valve.
thx for the tip.
