Halkey Roberts Valve

One side of my newly acquired Hondwave air deck goes down very slowly and I've discovered a tiny amount of air seeps from one of the two little holes on the outer edge of the valve. Anyone know what these are for and can I seal up the leaking hole?

You should have a Halkey Roberts key in the repair kit.
With the sib fully deflated use the key to unscrew the full valve assembly.
Check it for crud etc and give it a clean.
Refit and inflate the tube.
Get some washing up liquid in water and apply around the valve to check for bubbles / air leaks.

Cheers for that, I'll order a key. Do you know what those two little holes are for?

Dunno go be honest I think my Honwave gas them as well as best I can remember??
I've had air leaks coming through the valve itself due to crud getting into the rear washer and leaks around the valve edge where it meets the PVC.
I've found a quick strip down, clean and re-seat normally does the trick though .
