I bought a Stiletto about 2 months ago and finally got to do some serious diving with it on vacation a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed that the right lower dump valve is stiffer than the left one, it'll vent but it just needs a bit more of a tug. Upon return I got to try out the garden hose attachment option of the bx inflater (which is quite entertaining on a hot day, btw :dork2:) and noticed that once the bladder is full, the left valve will spray while the right kinda dribbles unless I give it a little tug. Is this normal or something that just needs to get broken in a bit, or should I have it looked at?
Thanks
 
nothing that a little fiber might help....:rofl3:

sorry, been a tough day, needed to let off a little steam....
 
You could take the unscrew the covers and have a peek inside. Maybe the spring on the right is stiffer?
