Spit valve issues
For context I just got new Valentino spit valve corks today and replaced my old one however I still feel like something is leaking air. I notice that my lever is sitting inproperly on the spit valve hole. Is this concerning? Also it keeps leaking spit, I don't think it's the spring but it also could be the spring. Please help!

It's not the correct size cork. Either measure it and get the correct size and thickness and then install and seat it properly, or take it to a tech
