I bought a 3qt Accusump about a year ago. I was prepping the unit to install on my engine,set up so I could use it to pre-lube my engine. I followed the instructions to the letter,compressing the pistion to make room for the
oil, installed the
oil and put the electric valve back on the unit,reinstalled the valve stem and was ready to pressurize the unit to 50 lbs. When I began to put the air pressure to it,
oil went every where. The electric valve is to remain closed until energized. Apparently it is not holding or is stuck open. I did test the valve by putting 12 volts to it and it seemed to respond normal sucking full open when I hit the juice.
Seems like the valve is not seating or oil is just blowing by. I seem to have heard of other people having problems with this elect valve. I plan to call Canton on Monday but was wondering if others had ever heard of the valve problem.
