    Use some fishing line to clear the valve.  There may be some debris clogging the opening.

    It worked--used weed eater cord to clean out the nozzle and now it's draining!  Thank you so very much.

    Weed Wacker to the rescue!  Seriously, sometimes there are plastic bits left over from when they drilled the tank or sometimes there are contaminants that get in the tank.

    Also watch out for mub dobbers if you have those where you live.  Every time I fill the fresh tank I feel for air flow coming out the of overflow and I quickly open the drain to make sure it drains.
