or if you ain't busy today, drive down the road to Fill Express if they're open. Sometimes they'll sell reg service parts.

I've had a chance to look over my 108s and here's what I think is your issue. First, the 108 with the parts on the left works fine? To me it looks like your lever, diaphragm, and cover should all work.

The issue with your 109 is that the purge cover on the right is for a 108 with a different lever and diaphragm than yours has. One of my 108s uses this type of cover (with the internal ridges) and the diaphragm and lever are different than yours.

So you should be able to just get a normal 109 purge cover and that should fix it. Try the purge cover on the left and see if it works. You can't use the one on the right for either of your regs.

If the purge cover on the left (or a new 'normal' 109 purge cover from vdh) doesn't work, you have a lever height issue and the easiest way to deal with that is a new lever.

Yeah, and by-the-way, Vintage Double Hose sells orifices and band clamp screws so no need to safety wire your band clamps together anymore.

I swapped the diaphragms and retuned but that didn't help.

The diaphragms aren't the issue, it's the purge covers. Make sure both regs work with the diaphragms as shown in your photo, but using the 109 style cover.

Thanks so far everyone the feed back has been great!! I already have a g250 lever with the curved feet on the way. So hopefully all I need now is a new purge cover and maybe a new orifiice. Will measure the length of the spring tonight.

Interestingly nothing could have been swapped as I've had the 108 for a while but the 109 is a new addition.

Halo is exactly correct. I'll try to post a few pictures later (watching the playoffs right now) that you might find helpful.

I know someone who used a grinding wheel to modify a diaphragm cover like that oddball you have to fit a 109, but as new covers are now available it may be best to save it for the day when you have a 108 that actually needs it.

^^^ It looks like we are typing all over each other. ^^^

The two levers on the left in the first photo are for the 108 HP which uses the same diaphragm and purge cover as the 109. The third lever is the old 108 style that halocline mentioned.

Thanks so much guys!!! Ill order some bits and see how I go. Is the g200 diaphragm compatible with both an adjustable and a BA?

I'm still using safety wire..also for mouth pieces and even on BC hoses.. If you ever need new bands..
