So, I went to adjust the pressure in my Fox Floats today. Front off sled was off the ground. Attached the pump, gauge read 60lbs. Pumped up to 70lbs, removed the pump, and air just leaked out. I reattached the pump and there was no pressure in the shock. Reinflated and same thing happened. I pump up to 70lbs, remove the pump and shock completely deflates.
Anyone ever experience this before???? I've only ridden a few miles this season and haven't damaged the shock.
Thanks for any feedback!!

Are you trying to do this outside in the cold?
I never had anything happen to my Floats. But I did have a similar thing happen to a tire on my truck. I checked the pressure on it, and then the valve stuck wide open. Somehow some moisture must have got in there and froze the valve in the open position, and all the air leaked out of the tire right away. Pouring some hot water on it unfroze the valve. I filled it back up with air, and everything was OK.
Maybe give it a try.....

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually landed up going to the autoparts store and buying a new valve. I replaced the valve on the shock and it's now working fine. I got this suggestion after talking with my dealer. All is well now but at the time I was like, "What is going on?"... It's these little things that drive ya crazy sometimes. It would have really been bad if this happened out on the trail!!
