Is this the second stage you have? If so, Ron is right, they breath pretty bad and not must way to make them any better...and I have tried, I own 2 of them. The first stage is fairly easy to rebuild, it is basically an early USD first stage and all the parts out of a DA Aquamaster HP stage will work. Odds are you can polish the HP seat and if needed replace the diaphram with one from a Conshelf and the first stage will be good to go. DO NOT put the second stage on ANY first stage unless you also have another modern second stage on it as well. Being an upstream valve if the IP of the first stage gets too high something will give and unless you have a downstream second on it, hoses will blow. The small button like item in one of the ports is a pressure relief valve to prevent hose ruptures, IF it is working, it takes the place of another modern second stage. I would not trust it without some careful testing.
