Try Relubing it, don't use petroleum based stuff, and if that doesn't work, a Snap head or a Condom Bow style one would probably work, good luck.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

angelof_DEATH182: It uses an Xbow style plunger head (no o-ring).
And thank you both of you. I think I'll be running over to Ace today to pick up a rubber washer.

E-tape the head until it's too tight and remove a little at a time until it's just right, then add silicone spray lube. Or make it slightly looser and use o-ring lube. The spray lube will work better and is easier to clean and apply though, so definitely start with that if you have it.
Alright, thanks Split. I'll probably do that as I didn't have a chance to go to Ace today.

What works great for me (on the older style rubber heads) is the same basic idea as with the o-ring style heads, just with more material. I remove the heads from shaft, then clean and dry completely. Next, fold back the outside lip and begin winding E-tape around the inner lip until it presses out on the inside of the outer lip. Then just fold the lip back in place and reassemble. This ensures that the E-tape is not actually getting the action, and shouldn't need to be replaced ever. I find that using a section of bike inner tube wound around under the tape reduces the amount of tape that I need to use. I also cut my strips of tape in half, lengthwise. I need to do a write-up on this.
That is a great idea! Thanks, I cant believe I didn't think of that.

My god, that's genious! Since I already put Split's method into action, and don't want to waste E-tape, I think I'll do this when the tape on now wears down.
