On my 333 the right hand marker slowly works its way down when the left hand marker is down. Would it be something in the switch valve or whatever its called causing this? There's no sign of leaks from the cylinder unless its completely internal.

surplus center sell a flip flop valve. I have it on my 15ft drill. it works great and you can even figure out how to have both markers down at the same time.

internal leak, most common. .pac it. Also the sequence valve could have a piece of trash or oring in it. Simple to check , pull allen plug and remove detent ball the the fittings to each marker and under each is a ball seat that can be examined , any mark on the steel ball will cause a leak.

Thanks Tim, I'll check it out. I've been using it for 2 years without the markers but it would be nice to have them working again.
