Can I just get some wet and dry on the cones to neaten them up if there's a ridge? Ot are they unrepairable?
Also which one is NRV1!

You’ll be on shrader valves alone before boingy things
The nrv spring can lose tension or crumble with green corrosion. That takes time though not in a year. Of the 3 I have you can tell which one is nrv1, seems pretty spent but other 2 look decent. Getting to them is the PIA

If I remember correctly, NRV-1 is the one facing opposite the other two. The brass end is towards the tank, so the air pressure closes the NRV.

Unless you have a lathe, put the valve in a drill chuck and use a fine file to reface it as it spins.

Be very careful doing that. I broke one a while back doing it !!

Have a drill chuck and access to a lathe.... I'm just not very careful!

Very light pressure needed. Lathe is best, you can use wet or dry 600 grade instead of a file if you prefer but maybe when you get the valves out they are OK.

I went out first thing this morning and charged her up to 150psi. Opened the boot to stop levelling, and pulled the timer relay.
The balloon inflates just a little and then stops. Not enough to burst it, and then seems to just sit there filled a bit with air.
Seems to have stopped at just under 150 for most of today. It's as if I have leaks at the top end of pressure, and then as it drops a little the O rings seal again. Also bubbles from the dryer with the compressor running, nothing when it isn't. I think rather than a major leak, I have general low level leakiness. At least that's how it looks now...
When I get a chance I'll check this other valve block I have, inspect the NRVs on that, and swap it out and then see what we see with this one.

Keep a spare ballon handy . . . .at some point you will forget it's on & start the car !! Yes I've done that - bang.

Keith I am not sure if my memory is right but didn't Kurt sell the NRV's? I bought a couple of sets a few years back but for the life of me I cannot remember from who and I cannot find the invoice/payment details

He did. But he hasn't logged on here since January.... and I need them now!!
A bit of googling suggests that they are not available anywhere at all. Going to be a custom manufacture job for some clever fellow in the future.

He had a lot going on in life last we spoke. Not good stuff either. Not exactly the type to flounce is he but we all need a break from time to time. I have tried to contact him few times previously with no response
Or he’s still mad at Broke beating him in COTY
told him he wouldn’t win going around being nice helping people
@kurtjohnson10 where art thou?
