Ok, strange thing going on. I pump up the valve and it holds, but I can hear a small amount of air flowing out of the tiny hole on the top of the inside of the echaust port. When I reach inside and plug it with my finger, it stops leaking. Air is not actually leaking out of the main diaphram, just a little bit out of the the pilot hole (not enough to fire it).

What could be causing this?
