Well, after much dicking around I have a mostly wonderfully clean and fully serviced system that should be working perfectly, right?

WRONG

After several bouts of part swapping I have come to the conclusion that there is an issue with one of the STV-10 lockout valves.



which in real life look like this



I took them off of the ends of the slaves and reconnected the system and it worked flawlessly, so obviously this is where the fault lies, but apparently the STV-10's are needed to stop throttle creep so cant be left off..

Does anyone know how to get these apart?
There is nothing in the manual about it, the two aluminium nuts on the end come off and there are poppet balls in them and inside the block there are brass and O rings visible, but no indication as to how to get that assembly out.
A tap with a wooden dowel and hammer didnt produce a result.
