Need some help. Got these 3 eagle oil cans. The one on the left works just fine, the one in the middle won't squirt any oil out at all...the trigger works just fine but no oil. The one on the right just dribbles out, the trigger works just fine. I really like the oil cans and want to use all of them. Any one with any ideas or know what may be wrong. Any and all responses appreciated.

Check out the check valves in the suction tube.
I've taken both the ones that don't work completely apart. There is two springs with two brass balls on each pump. They are all there and free. They seem to be working. When you pull the trigger it should squirt oil out and when you release the trigger it should suck up oil to be squirted out when you pull the trigger.
Something is wrong and I just can't figure it out.

Figured it out. Whomever had these two before me had the balls and springs in wrong.
On the check valve on top the ball goes in first then the spring. On the intake tube it is the opposite, the spring goes in first then the ball.
Works now.

I have had the same sort of trouble with the big Goldenrod oil cans.
