Etha Air leak?

[Gingegenious]

Hi,
New so please bare with me.. Got a new Etha from eclipse the other day and now used it once.. when I set it all up it leaked air like no tommorow from the SL3 regulator. I could stop the leak by pushing the 90degree macroline from a 6 o'clock position to more like an 8 o'clock.. Any ideas how to fix it or what it may be?
Cheers.

was the air coming out of the silver macroline fitting or from the join where the collar turns?

I believe it is where the collar turns.

Check the collar o-rings...

Should be one either side of the elbow inside the collar. Replace and lube as needed and you should be good to go.

I believe it is where the collar turns.

if you are sure thats where its from then underneath the collar are 2 orings which may be damaged, causing air to vent out around the collar rather than going up through the regulator. take your reg apart and take the collar off and inspect/replace as neccessary.

however i'd double check again because a very common problem is that the macroline doesn't seal properly inside that silver macroline fitting and moving it around usually causes it to seal. if that's the case then the macroline will just need cut.

would probably be a good idea to run this past stoney by posting your problem in the planet eclipse section of the forum and see what he says as well.
