A good soak in oil might help free it up, unless there is some other damage, hopefully the valve seat is not out of place, if it has an insert. agree. if the spring is OK, might be the valve seat is cracked - when they crack, they tend to close up diameter a bit and can grip the valve stem. I think whatever, you're gonna be taking the head off for a closer look - at least then you'll now for certain what the condition is like my 2p EDIT: oh.     glad you got it working Edited 2023-02-10 00:08 by CaptainBoing
