Ok, in true OCD fashion I wasn't sure I was getting full range of tuning using G260 levers on G250s so pulled a few apart tonight to check.
It seems setting the lever just shy of freeflow prior to installing the diaphragm and cover has the lever sitting very high above the rim of the case, as photo attached. It requires over 3/4 of a turn in on the orifice to drop it low enough to install diaphragm without it leaking.
With a G260 lever specs indicate cracking around 1.1" or just over (lowest possible to achieve) with Venturi on max it'll violently freeflow if purge pressed, with Venturi on min freeflow will stop once you release purge. Air starts to flow after less than 2mm of purge. On paper "looks" to be functioning as it should but I'm guessing the working range of air flow is less.
Bottom line, although they seem to work, with my limited knowledge at this stage I'd not recommend them.
Happy to send one or three of you gurus a lever to try for yourself, perhaps you could post a more definitive and accurate report.
Anyway, offers there. Sorry if I've sent anyone up the wrong path.
