Am I allowed to respond to my own question?
The alarm valve leakage resulted in the drain pipe from the water motor gong
filling with rust. I suspect that the water flowing through the retard
chamber may have caused the rust hole to form in the retard chamber. We now
have a new retard chamber, new restriction device, new water motor gong, new
drain pipe. We still have water trickling through the restriction and out
the drain pipe. At present I have the alarm valve closed, so we have no
leakage, but we also have no alarm notification. Any ideas how to fix this
problem?

We have an old Star 4-175-D wet valve that is leaking through the alarm
valve. when the valve is open, we get a trickle of water into the water
motor gong. Not enough flow to trip the gong, but enough to rust the pipe
shut. I do not find any info on this valve on the Tyco web site.
Does someone have a tech sheet you could send to me?
