Blow through it... I was just about ready to pull my hair out trying to figure out why a solenoid "wasn't working" until someone suggested I do just that. Turns out it was fine and I was experiencing operator error :)
 
If it's intermittent, I'd invest the $15 for a higher quality low burst pressure check valve. If it's never worked, take it off, blow through it, and make sure the direction is correct.

I just had the same problem and it was the check valve. I pulled the line off and co2 was coming out. I hooked line direct to reactor without the check valve and had a bubble. With valve in place I didn’t have anything
