It was definitely plugged-up on the spring valve side, I could not get air to move in or out of that side of the valve. I placed it in Mystery Oil for about an hour, hit with some carburetor cleaner, then I soaked it in Mystery Oil again for about 30 minutes. After cleaning I could get pressured air to flow through the spring valve.

Why not just replace it, it is a $20 part at retail............
