ive not got one but have you tried gettin it all together before you tighten everythin up fully ?

[DiscoDes]

Have you cross threaded something?

[brysoni23]

if i take my drip tip off and look down it its not lined up. unless i have put the rubber bung on wonky

Will try that first 2 secs

Sounds like the bung.......& maybe don't overtighten the top

I've done that a couple of times. You need to get it central or it will leak. So far I've fixed it easily enough by assembling it except for the top of the nova, screwing it onto the battery (to hold the post in place) and forcing it straight, holding the tank in one hand and the battery in the other. Then just make sure the tank is right down on the base.

nope not the rubber bung. if i look at the bottom thread there is a gap of about 1mm. i can put my finger nail in it. but it wont screw down flush.

With me it wasn't cross-threading or bung, it was something to do with the way the base of the Nova is put together.

Is the little metal head in the bung sitting properly?

i think it was the little metal piece in the bung. took it out and placed it right at the top and all seems ok now. cheers guys
