The regulator an my AVA has become very hard to turn both out and in (depresurized of course). Any help is appreciated
Air Venturi AVA regulator issue
- Thread starter CarlV
- Start date
I believe there are two internal orings. One, most likely the larger, is binding. But that *should* come with a leak too. It is a fairly simple regulator so the options are pretty limited.
May just be the orings have dried out. No idea how that would make adjusting difficult.

Always remember to place a drop of Silicone oil on the fill probe when adding air to the gun. Helps keep the o rings inside the gun lubricated.

Regarding adding silicone oil to the fill port, I tried this approach in my first PCP but when I eventually took it apart, I could not find any evidence that the silicone oil atomizes and migrates through the system. There was a little bit just beyond the check valve on the air tube walls but everything else was bone dry as best I could tell (e.g. wiping a finger on metal surfaces and then observing the surface with light reflecting at a shallow angle).
Granted it won't hurt anything.
