pump valve replacement?
My floor pump has a "smart" valve. When I went to pump up the tires (presta) air would only come out the unused schrader hole. It has worked before, and I'm positive I had it all the way on the tire valve, and it's always been a real snug fit, too snug actually.
Is it a good idea to replace the pump's valve? Parts recommendations?
Or should I get a new/better pump?
Thanks!

Many of those pumps use fairly generic hose/chucks. You could probably just buy a replacement if whacking it doesn't bring joy. (No euphemism intended.)
