I recently started having issues with one of my zones, where the sprinklers won't come on. Event turning the solenoid to manually open the valve didn't work. Water is getting to the value fine.
As the valve was older and replacement parts weren't easily available, I decided to swap it out for a new valve. However, same issue with the new valve. I thought maybe a bad part on the new valve as well, so swapped out the diaphram, spring, and solenoid, still no luck.
So now I am stuck, not sure what to try next. The sprinkler shut off is less than 1 foot away from the valve in question, and it is putting out plenty of water.
The older valve was a Toro, and was replaced by an Orbit.

I can sometimes get the zone to run if I turn the water off, manually open the sprinkler valve, then turn on the water.
