Tekna 2100B second stage

[Jscubadive]

Hi

I bought a Tekna 2100B a few weeks ago, and found the first stage to be rather corroded and the filter was in terrible looking shape. But I tried out on a tank, not diving though, and seemed to breathe ok but a little hard. From the outside looks though the first stage was rather rough with corrosion and had the smaller HP ports of 3/8". I decided to buy a new first stage and from what I have read, I am no technician by a long shot, that the first is a clone scubapro and ended up with a new clone MK10 then attached that to the Tekna 2100B. Today I noticed that there was a continual leak of air out of the mouthpiece. I have no idea when the second was serviced last and realize you cant get parts em but wonder what I can do. I had a Sherwood minimus octopus on the same first stage and seemed to be fine.

Do you have he original first stage? try it again and see if the leak goes away. I answered more to your private inquiry.

Unfortuantely I have found that a good Tekna T2100 has increadible breathing performance but that they are very challenging to tune especially with no source of parts. What a shame. I have a brand new Aqua Lung Legend and set for miniumum effort it is not in the same league as the Tekna. My all metal T2100 kicks it's butt and everything else too. N
