did you make 100% sure that both hoses going to from your T valve are the same length? water will always take the path of least resistance. Make 'em both the same and you should be good to go.

When mine do that, it is normally because there is a plugged up jet in the injector lines...

I have installed a strainer on the header feed line for just that reason.  :sly:

But X2 on the trying to make the lines from the valve the same length, even though mine were not even close :-\

My Bassett valve was actually mounted to the right header injector pipe and a hose (6AN) ran from the valve to the other side, seemed to work very well, even though it really shouldn't have, the right header just started (steamed) sooner by about a second.
