I just bought a used MK17, it looks basically new/unused. IP is rock stead at 135 psi (goes to 140 at 500psi). When I got it the "plunger" in the environmental seal was rattling a bit. I figured it was because someone put the environmental seal on without that reg being pressurized. I put it back on under pressure and it sucked back down and the rattle was gone.
Then this morning I picked it up and the rattle has returned. It would seem that either the diaphragm or the environmental must be leaking then? One of the LP ports was open with no hose or plug, I feel like that should not matter, but perhaps it does? Perhaps this is just something that happens with MK17s? (I doubt it). Anyway, figured I'd let the hive mind weigh in.
For now I'll re-pressurize it and put a plug on the open LP port and see what happens. I'd love to hear other's thoughts. Thanks.
