I think I got ripped off on valvles,they are air horn valves for big trucks from cicada,they work but one stuck ,I hit it then it worked,I think I know the response I'm going to get,buy good ones.A lesson for newcomers anyway.
take them apart and go buy some good spray lubricant from a hardware store and lube them up real good. they should work then, mine stick in the winter when its like -10 outside but i lube them every spring and have no problems all summer.
