I'm wondering if it's a problem with the springs under the inflator button? I'm still waiting to find out if I can get a spring as a replacement part.

I've spoken with Portland again about sendining it there but apparently at a service all they will do is replace the orings as I have done.

Apart from changing the complete thing has any one any thoughts
Many thanks

Judging by the age of the wing, I'm assuming that it's a stainless steel inflator, right? If so - and the o-ring replacement/service hasn't done the trick - then I'd be inclined to follow Garf's advice - ie. change the inflator out for a new one. Halcyon now offer an OEM power inflator that's a lot more maintenance-free than the stainless inflator - I changed my stainless inflator out for one of these and have had no problems at all...
