Good info, Thanks Rusty.
The inoperative valve can be cleaned w/ a little carb cleaner, work the check valve , re-install. Good to go.

I used this type. Mine had fallen apart so I replace it.

Often installed in confined spaces, these valves have a shorter end-to-end length than standard backflow-prevention valves. They open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

I'll be ****ed an easy fix for once. Hadn't started my M35A3 in month or more, had one dead battery that wouldn't come back. Replaced it. Started truck up and it promptly died when trying the get the rpms up to inflate the tires...... Took the check valve off, filled it up with carb cleaner worked the ball, filled it the opposite way, let it sit and worked it, put it back on, started right up!!!!! Didn't even change the fuel filter, though I bought one and the water.fuel separator. Like McDonalds, I'm loving it!
