Any suggestions???? The pnuematic pinch valve on my schwing 39m gives me rock jams in the reducer if I stop pumping for more than a couple minutes. I know its caused by the cream leaking past the bladder. When inflated it leaves a 3/4 inch opening. I was just wondering if anyone else has this prob or knows of a fix. Right now I just run a little bit every couple of minutes thru the break to drop the rocks out before it plugs.
