Multitood of invert mini problems.

[xJoe]

Large amounts of blowback.

Large leak from barrel and regulator bleed.

Regulator needle has gone past 300 and for want of a better word 'snapped'

I'm firstly trying to stop the leaking, Ive tried changing o-rings, resetting poppit, relubing, service solenoid, fully tighted velocity screw, there is no damage on the poppit that it can see, could it be because of a faulty reg?

Where can i buy a new reg?

thanks

What else do i need to buy?

First port of call should be to replace the gauge, you have no way of knowing what input pressure your mini is getting, anything over 200psi will cause your mini to dump the air and it will leak through the bottom of the asa through the safety vent.

How can i tell the actual reg hasnt died? how much would a guage cost and where from?

Theres not much to go wrong with the reg that cant be fixed.

I assure you the reg is not dead, it will just need to be set then not touched again.

try lps tio get the gauge, your after a 0- 300psi unit.

Just to give some extra detail this leak isnt just some flowing air, its a really loud sort of like a balloon emptying itself like that flatulence type noise.

 

[Lump]

have you worked out how to turn all the pressure off at the reg point

 

[xJoe]

dont i just turn it until its loose.

Its a little more technical than that.

Bolter posted a video on reg teching, i will try and find it and post it.

7th video down, if you are still unsure on how to fix the mini send it or take it to someone who does, more damage can be done if incorectly repaired.

Hope this helps.

Dont touch anything if the gauge doesnt work. You cant be sure what its set to, so turning it will screw everything up. Mini gauge should be set to just a tick under 200psi.

I would not however recommend taking the reg apart. Send it to someone who knows exactly what they are doing.
