Recoiled heads blocking airflow?

[xs2man]

Guys,

I have been trying to recoil my evod heads (well, for use in protanks).

1 or 2 have been successful, but the rest have been blocking out the airflow.  So when I go for a toot, there is no airflow at all.

What might be causing this?

You seem to have the solution at your hands , compare the successful with the unsuccessful .

Hi mate had exactly the same problem myself, what I figured out was happening in the end was that the rubber grommet in the atty head was being compressed too much when screwing down the atty, so it was plumping outwards slightly and totally choking the very small gap the the air would normally flow through. Seemed to me the older (and so softer) the rubber the greater the chance of the problem, so as a temporary cure I recoiled the heads as normal but was very careful not to push in the base pin in too hard (and precompress the grommet) and not over tighten the protank onto the mod. Also make sure the pin in the 510 connector in the mod is raised up properly. Order a load of fresh ones from Fasttech for about 50p each and when they turn up rotate the old ones into the bin sorted

Couldn't find them on fasttech. Can you link them up?
