I had the same problem on my '81 FC. Both the Sporlan valve and the hot water tank drain valve were bad. Actually, both of there valves have the same effect and neither can be in open position when the pump is to provide water because the pump is simply returning water to the tank. Both of these valves are expensive from BB. I solved my problem by replacing the hot water valve with a ball valve and did away with the Sporlan. Naturally, the fill switch no longer works w/o the Sporlan so I added a short brass rod from the ball valve handle through a small hole I drilled to the utility compartment.
