Older OMS inflator assembly

[stretchthepenn]

I recently bought a dual-bladder OMS "Trieste" wing, and it comes with the older-style power inflators--the ones with the mouthpiece at a right angle to the corrugated hose.

One of the inflators has a slow leak out of the inflator button, so I need to either service the assembly or replace it. Thus, hive mind, I have two questions:

• What's the consensus on these older inflators? Repair or replace?

• Is there anything tricky about doing repairs on these older inflators, or can I use the standard o-rings that are available for most rebuilds?

Nota Bene: Anyone who questions the need for a double-bladder wing will be court-martialed and shot at dawn.

repair is fine if you are comfortable doing it yourself. else just buy a new one from DGX.

I repair when I can, but the bargain price of a new one means that it is easy to keep a spare around. Swap them out, then rebuild the old ones at your leisure.
