Another update -- and a question. In my enthusiasm, now that the new valve was making everything work so well, I decided to replace the *filter* in the draft-control circuit. Argh! My sluggish low-pressure troubles returned. So just for the heck of it I unscrewed the *valve* enough to relieve the pressure on the circuit and screwed it back in again. Presto! Snappy performance restored. So I'm wondering -- does anybody have an opinion as to whether that circuit needs to be bled when a new filter is put in? And, if it does, what the right way to do it is? I have a feeling that replacing the valve may not have been what did it, but rather that I accidentally bled an air pocket out of the circuit and *that's* what actually fixed the problem. That would sure be a cheaper fix for folks with that trouble.
