I have recently purchased Getzen CB50 in the past 2 months and I absolutely love the horn. I use Binak 495 as valve oil exclusively and usually about every two days the 4th valve (sometimes the 3rd valve too) will get a cloudy residue on it and becomes sluggish. If I wipe it clean and put two drops of binak on it, its fine for about another two days or so. I say sluggish but it just isn't as responsive as a freshly oiled valve. Any idea what this could be? I use lanolin as slide grease and I orignally thought that might be making its way down. Any suggestions?
