There are good reasons to use Presta but this isn’t one of them. The problem is in the pump.

Look at the bottom of this page fro more "Product Details" including rebuild kits
https://www.parktool.com/product/pro...oor-pump-pfp-7

Those are “rebuild” kits but they don’t address the problem Amocat223 is having. The check valve in the pump is defective as other posters have pointed out. That is in the base of the pump and may not be accessible. Replacement parts may not be available either since Park doesn’t list them in any documentation.

This video shows how to replace the check valve in a Lezyne CNC pump. I present it just to show where the check valve is. It doesn’t mean that the same valve is replaceable in the Park pump
