wedge2409 98 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Had to send my R10 back to John Bowkett due to a drop in power (9.2ft/lb using daystate Li ) On stripping it down he found what he described as verdigris on the buddy bottle threads causing restricted airflow to the reg.He also suggest i get my dive bottle checked as there may be moisture in it but i bought the cylinder from a dive shop and only ever had it filled by them.So John has cleaned it all down and down a full check on it free of charge.Was just wondering if any of the tech guys out there have seen this before,John also says he is seeing this more often so something to look out for if you have a BSA with a buddy bottle look out for bright green discharge.ATB..Ste (John is also disguising this on his facebook page ) Edited October 15, 2012 by wedge2409 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hmm. First iv seen. Abut unfortunate,but atleast its sorted. Did he strip the gun n clean everything inside to? I would imagine that stuff creeping inside would be trouble. Atb Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 is there any brass in the bottle .I had something similar on a different gun that I pumped by hand .There was moisture reacting with the brass parts in the gun. Quote Link to post
