Hey all, (warning moaning time)
Last night I had my solenoid on my regulator stop working, I noticed my co2 was still flowing 2 hrs after it usually stops. After having a good look, the solenoid was all burnt out and had water stains and electrical burn marks on the metal pin it closes and opens. Not sure if water has leaked through the bubble counter into the solenoid or the pin is just stuck.. either way it blew and has a bad electrical burning smell to it now.
This is the second time that my reg has stopped working and I've had it just short of 3 years, last time it developed a major leak from nowhere and I already had it repaired once and spares several times sent to me a different time. I'm really unhappy now temperamental this reg is, it took over a month last time to fix so I'm throwing in the towel and going for a strideways pro.
I know you can replace the solenoid and the metal pin (already have one spare) but this is the final issue, my screw threads were mashed from me getting into it prior so it's unaccessible.
I'm gutted but this unit has caused me real stress since I have it, how does everyone find the strideways pro regs.. I'm really hoping there better quality and have decent QCs.
