Hi there!
I got a pair of ATX200 2nd stages on two DST 1st stages in a side mount config and they have worked flawlessly for the past 3500+ dives but recently has begun to produce a slight leak through the second stage after breathing the regs empty and turning on the gas again.
Its not a proper free flow but just a steady stream of bubbles. This has happened in waters 20°C to around 0°.
Sometimes it fixed by removing the cover and move the venturi lever slightly in the breathing direction but for cave diving I would not trust this solution in the long run. Adjusting the adjustment knob will not help.
The regs has been serviced but to no improvement.
Does any one have an idea of what it could be? Are they done for or is this something that can be fixed?
