Have a Mk17 first about 3yrs old. Light use so far. Problem developed where it would be mounted on a tank and when pressurized would free flow from the bleed hole on the tank valve and I would have to cycle the tank valve a few times to get a seal. When time to remove the mk17 from the tank it was extremely hard to unscrew, usually dislodging the tank oring in the process. I noticed that when finally getting it loose a small amount of pressure is still left on the HP side after fully purging the seconds.
I did not do a full kit replacement, only a full breakdown, cleaning and reassembly. Parts looked good and clean by eye (reg is a dedicated singles kit and rarely used). Put it back together. same results, Filter seems clean and ok.
Before I do a full breakdown and new kit, any ideas? Spring??
thx
