James where exaclly is the squish comming from?
Is it from the reserver?

Jens

Jens,

The squish came from the booster itself (presumably the large o-ring that seals it), it's acting like the high pressure is either seeping past an o-ring somewhere in it, or something is not letting the high pressure drain off and it builds up till it blows and all the fluid drains out till the pressure is even again. There is a small valve in the low pressure line that I guess is there to not allow high pressure back,could this be part of the problem?

Also what is the pressure switch? is it the thing the bomb screws into? If it is I have no idea how to check it if its good or not.

So far I've come to the conclusion its either the Pressure swich(if that is what I'm thinking of), that little valve in the low pressur ling, or the booster itself. Atleast that narrows things down a bit.

Thanks,
~James
