The third valve on my 188 is very sluggish and getting worse. I've tried 5 different valve oils from the cheapest to the most expesive i could find. I've tried applying it through the main tuning slide, the third valve slide, on the linkage, and in the bottom cap. It helps a little but it's still no where close to the other 4. Is it time for a cleaning or is there another method to fixing this that I don't know about. Any help would geatly appreciated.
