A4 Valves
Good Day
We recently inherited a old AVON with B4 valves. The insides of one of the valves is completely gone and 2 of remanding 3 leak a bit. So the question is can the B4s be fixed or am I best off replacing them?

Is that the old rubber style with the rubber plug? Try lubricating them with some silicone grease - including the stopper. Worked well for me once.
