I have a 1" gate valve on my Herbie Overflow and it sucking in some air. I can push or pull on the knob itself and change the sound its making. I assume there is some sort of gasket of something here. A new valve is like $50! Is there a way to rebuild or remedy this without replacing the entire unit?
 
Thanks - I'll have to check and see if it is a Spears.
