About 2 years ago I purchaced a brand spankin new VMI 2103, which has 4 rotary valves on it. I thought that these were the coolest things because they were so quick and light. However, in the last few months my first valve has begun to get gummier and gummier, until now it barely functions. This is quite frustrating. The problem is not with the ball joints but in the valve itself. I took it to the local repair shop and had it cleaned, but that barley helped at all. If anyone has any advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -
