Ok, results of my testing yesterday (with the good orifice). When I re-installed the orifice, i screwed it all the way in (without any poppet installed in the air barrel), and then backed it out about 1 1/2 turns to set the initial position (probably ever so slightly over 1 1/2 turns). When assembled and ready to test, I opened the valve on the tank, and it leaked, so then turned the orifice in slowly until it stopped leaking, then a 12 o-click to 1 o-click turn slightly more.
The lever height at this setting is fine, no rattle.
However, the cracking effort is still way way too light. (Note - using the original spring. I'll re-do this test using one of the new springs, but if past experience is the same, it won't make any difference. But I will re-try).
2nd point, to get the desired cracking effort (1 - 1.1 inch of water), it required me to turn the inhalation adjustment knob in a bit over 3/4 of a turn. It felt like a lot of 'turn' to get the cracking effort right. With the inhalation adjustment knob backed all the way out against the circlip (position for tuning), it feels like it's around 0.6 inches of water.
Changing the orifice over did make the breathing feel smoother. (The G250v it came out of always was nice and super smooth).
