Any way to fix a valve that doesnt fit properly on a tombstone? The tombstone fits in but wiggles a little and thats where the air is leaking. Did anyone have the same problem and fix it somehow without getting a new valve or tombstone?

It's usually related to the o-ring that seals the tombstone fitting into the valve. Get a new o-ring, and make sure you put a little oil or grease on the o-ring so it isn't damaged when you slide in the tombstone fitting.

Thats the first thing I did when I discovered the problem, changed the oring where the airgoes in. But when I take the valve out and hook up the cable and blow into it, theres air coming out from around the place where the tombstone slides into the valve. Are the tombstones supposed to wiggle on the valve? Is that normal? Thanks for the help.
