I have two questions:
1. I bought a Surge - C type milker a while back. It never had a check valve. Do I need one and were does it go? The milker "was" working fine without it, until the pulsator began acting up.
2. PULSATOR: It won't work now. It was working fine and then it started only working if the milker was tilted to the side. It stopped, so I bought a kit and rebuilt it. It still doesn't work. I can manually move the piston and get the action I need to milk, but it will not automatically do anything. I have tried all the ideas I have read about, i.e. cleaning, adding oil and removing oil. I am not sure what to do next except buy a interplus.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

check valve in not required, and as to the pulsator, it sounds like you have a passage blocked. some of them as smaller the a pencile lead. make sure the are all open. good luck

Check valve is needed for milker to run "properly". The check valve allows vacuum to be drawn through, while keeping liquid "milk" out of pulsator. No doubt you have drawn some milk through your pulsator and it has gummed up in the small air passages and leathers. A good cleaning, using pipe cleaners or small soft wire to get through the small passages along with blasting some crc solvent through them after, and cleaning the leathers with same solvent, then re-oil them, should get you going, but make sure you reassemble pulsator correctly, often people put the slide valves in wrong.

the 4 air ports represent "front" of pulsator. With this in mind. The slide with no hole through it goes to the front of the pulsator with the larger slot facing front. The slide with a hole through it goes to the rear of the pulsator, with the hole facing front.
