I am having problem rebuilding the Nikki converter. When mine go bad they are letting high lp pressure go straight in to the air horn this is before the rebuild. I rebuild by replacing both digaphrams front and rear replacing the valve assembly and o ring, the 2 o rings on the bottom plate, o ring for outlet neck, o ring under 17 mm head plug on the top, both coolant port o rings. Out of my kit I have 2 o rings left and can not see as to where else they would be needed its a helmar kit I am using. Of corse I am cleaning as best as possible with brake wash. When I install onto unit it starts fine with no leaks or high Pressures going to air born but in about 2 seconds it starts to run rough and will not rev up at all. I have tried the adjustment screw on side and can only get it to idle or rev up properly one at a time depending on how far I turn in the adjustment. I just want to know if I am missing something with my 2 extra o rings from my kit or if anyone else has had this problem before. And it's not a problem with anything else I have switched parts from good unit to confirm that all the problem lies in the lp converter. Thanks

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
