Aha!  My next "Project"...Re-clean the orfice and check the valve to make
sure it is also clear.

  Also on my agenda is another attempt at fixing my Odo, which just crapped
out again today, after my winter-time fix.  This time on the odo I have all
my tools and a controlled enviornment.  Trying to fix that odo while on
extended stay in the winter time desert was a bit frustrating....sand, wind,
cold and no tools.
