Tuning Leshiy 2 REPR not filling plenum? (RESOLVED)

Anyone seen this before?

Yes LOL was quite funny actually, my first thought was the reg has a bad case of sleep apnea....(left target on the picture) first shot was very very loud and the following 14 or so shot hit lower and lower - then it sounded like the reg finally took a deep inhale and the rest of the shots point of aim (like the target at the right)

Then I shot the target on the right - 4 mag without any problem

Took the regulator apart, cup and all and found no problem whatsoever, the tip of the brass bit measures 1.2mm, hole in cup 1.5, the hole in the white valve part also 1.5mm, the valve ball was free to move a bit sideways in the channel and down against the spring behind it

..so all in all, nothing should be able to get stuck and prohibit the reg to reload so I do not know what to think of it

Shot half tin this afternoon without any problems whatsoever, strange...

Edit: also had to change blown o-ring on the reg stem (brass bit) 3 times....but could be my own fault, now I make sure to shoot it several time while lowering reg pressure and only turn the reg 1/8th of a turn between venting

Thanks for the info. I have taken it apart and found the same oring in not so good shape. Replaced it and gun is shooting again. But seems to be unregulated and adjusting the reg is not really changing anything.

I think I found the issue.

Seems the place where the ball seats is damaged on the left delrin cup. Luckily I have a spare going to install and try again.

My seating tool. Used a miniscule amount of silicone grease to keep the delrin cup on the pencil eraser.
