REO Mini new 510 connector - leaking problem

[jamesfarrell]

Got one of these for a buddy. I kinda knew this was going to be a mistake. He's got issues with EVERYTHING he puts his hands on.

I've had ZERO problems with my MINI.

He's got the new 510 connector. He claims that somehow, the top of the battery is getting wet with juice. I don't know how this is possible and I don't have access to the device. Any ideas? When we got it, I had to loosen the allen screw to make contact with the RM2 atty. I don't see how that would cause juice to get over to the battery.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

I don't see any way the juice could be leaking from the inside of the device. He said it's not a huge leak, but the end of the day, there will be some juice on the top of teh battery. There's no way the 510 connector can leak on the inside I would not think. The other issue is that the new 510 connector is bigger and the Orings we ordered from Rob (2 sized) do not fit around the connector for under the RM2.

OMG, I can't believe this. I told this guy to order this thing as it has zero issues. It looks in the video as if he replaced the firing pin. This device is 4 days old, just set it up last weekend for him and now it's leaking.

Can someone please give me a simple explanation how to fix it please?

Thanks

I did not replace the fire pin when mine was leaking, i just gave it a good tightening. It did not "feel" wobbly or loose, but gave it a good turn to tighten, and it did tighten up a bit more, & now i have no leaking. But there are other people with leaks that found different reasons/solutions. Check out the other thread that was mentioned in that thread too.
Hope it gets found & fixed for your friend!

ETA-- mine was not 4 days old, but it was only a month old with the second fix of the 510 connection

So what did you do? Take off the tube and tighten the nipple where the tube goes into it?

I would just about bet money that he it is over squonking and it is going down the button hole.

There is only one place it can leak remove the silicone feed tube and tighten stainless tube turning it to the right slightly . Definitely could be one over feeding there atty . I cant tell you how many times I have been told my mods leaking only to find its not leaking the user is over feeding there atty .

Cool, thanks for the help. I myself have never had any problems other than juice leaking out of the air hole. That's my fault. This is my buddy's unit. He's a noob.

No leaks for my 2 back from the spa for new ss 510s. So now all 3 with the new 510s leak free.
