I did it! I think. Cleaned, updated with a balanced adjustable upgrade kit from VDH and ran through the regulator check list by couv, et al. So far so good. Even managed to get the exhaust T back on!
Couple of questions...
Following the list, I submerged the pressurized regulator, mouthpiece up, in water. Started free flowing when the water hit the zip tie at the base of the mouthpiece. Does this sound about right?
There were a few small areas of rust that I cleaned. Is there anything that I can put on these areas to help prevent recurrence?
Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Next is an MK 10 that I hope to pair with the 109. Then the real test will be my upcoming dive trip when I'll try them on my pony.
