I checked the ports on the manifold where the valve mounts to, yes appear to be clear, how-ever when I insert a pipe cleaner brush, the brush can be inserted with ease on the top port, the bottom port, this one puzzles me, it appears to be a "dead-end", I cannot get the brush to go in more than an inch.
Power to the solenoid - no I have not done that yet, I will figure that out next.
With so many "swaps" off/on the valve part moves freely not sticking.
Thx
