Hello all, I'm new to this forum, but very impressed with the quality of info, experience and attitude here. I just bought a SB MK10/G250 on ebay, I've been diving an old Sherwood blizzard and SB Air 2 gen 3 for 15 years and have done most of the service myself for the last 10 or so years, the 2nds are simple and has responded very well to "fiddling with it till it breaths right" I have not dug into first stages much, but can read a manual.
So my questions... before I start tearing it apart, how are these things to fix?
What am I actually going to HAVE to buy for tools, (already have a full shop of usual tools, allan keys, wrenches etc)
Where can I get a SPEC boot, looked on ebay and amazon, no luck yet. I dive in Maine. Fun, recovery and mooring work, i.e. often 0 vis and feel like a clam worm half the time burrowing through the mud. I gather that the MK10 isn't going to love this w/o the boot and some lube, or am I wrong?
MK 10 has slow leak from the vents that would be under the boot, any thoughts on likely cause (o-ring or bad seat?) before I tear it apart, run into parts I can't get, then have to get spanked in the wallet by the dive shop for showing up with a bag of parts.
O.K. I'll stop with the questions now, (for now) Any advice would be much appreciated.
OH, one more found a bunch of "annual service kits" on ebay from 10 to 50 bucks, are they all made equally, is there anything to avoid?
