It does sound like a dirty/damaged main seal, but I'm not that up on Arm's so your best bet would be to give Mr Sosta a call to confirm - and of course he'll also be able to sell you any required parts. :)

I think his number is 01206 240831, but it's an old one in my mobile so it may be wrong.

Hope that helps.

MaxFlow...

My MaxFlow does the same... Pops right up, and then very slowly cranks up a little :confused:

Any suggestions? Seems like an O-ring but do't really know for sure...

From the Max Flo manual:

Problem: Output pressure slowly climbs above set pressure
Solution: Clean base seal o-ring [46] and poppet seal o-ring [233]. Reassemble without lubricant.

In case you don't have a diagram to hand, you get to those by removing the retaining nut (the opposite end to the spring cap) with an allen key, and the two o-ring are either side of the seat - the last thing to come out of the innards.

you need to change the main reg seal. make sure there's no gas in your bottle and unscrew it from the reg. you'll see a big allen screw about 10mm? take this out ( f*ing tight !!) and the pin and reg seal just fall out, the reg seal is the same as a mag one and i don't know anybody that hasn't got one of these in their toolbox, pop it in the right way round and screw everything back together, sorted!:D

Cameronians old school

air in the bottle the top of mines comes
