There are many reasons why rotary valve jams--wrong valve type, grit in fluid, caustic reaction, etc. First find out why. only then decide best course of action.

REMEMBER caustic fluid is highly dangerous. Use appropriate safety measures (and safe practice) to avoid injury.

Is there any moisture getting in? That'll gum it up.
