I have some Toro valves installed in 1992. They are one-piece and can't be taken apart. The only thing user replaceable is the solenoid.
It does not use the universal solenoid you can find at big box.
one valve will not open unless I unscrew the solenoid. It will just dribble water otherwise.
I swapped the solenoid with one on another working valve, and the valve still won't open.
I even swapped the wires to another working station and the valve won't open.
But as soon as I loosen the solenoid, the valve flows full blast.
I even removed the solenoid and let the water spray out everywhere to clean it out.
I'm out of ideas.
