Hello!
I have recently aquired a Utilus plus ( 1971). The safety valve between 2nd and third stages is popping off slightly. Looking around the forums it seems third stage inlet valve is route one. I have taken the head off but am struggling to get the valve out to clean it. There is a bolt head that i can get an 8mm spanner on but it doesn't want to give. How brutal can you get with these valves? And, are replacements available? I haven't seen much info on this compressor so is it completely obsolete? Or can it be brought back into service? I will attempt to post some pictures. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Cheers!
