Solenoid valve repair/questions
The solenoid valve for my regulator sounds like it's working.........I can hear it clicking on/off........ but when the power is shut off the CO2 is still coming out.
Is there anything I can do to get it to work right?

maybe your output pressure is too high. I was doing the same thing with mine.

Hmm..........I didn't have the cylinder valve open very much & this is a regulator & solenoid that was working fine. I have just had it offline for some time.
Thanks for the response.

it could be pressure, Also could need to be taken apart and cleaned. The spring could be weak. seals shot ect. Might just need some new seals. their isnt much to them really. Might just bebetter off to get a replacement. Sounds like the coil is fine. you would just need the valve assembly. Probably have to buy them paired up though.
