I know the air pump was for a Schrader valve and I was unaware that there were different types so I didn’t look at the original tube to see why it wouldn’t fill.

I wonder if he was using the wrong pump and the air was just coming out instead and he thought it had a hole in it. I did examine the tire for any holes or stickers and couldn’t see anything obvious to cause a flat. My daughter said she thought the tube seam had split, but I didn’t see anything like that. I don’t live near them so I was just going to fix it at home and take a trip back out there.

Anyway the new tube hasn't arrived yet so I'll guess I'll find out
