Its broke, and I'm at square one.

i know you wont like this, but a complete rebuild of your orings would be better than anything else. Basically something in the valve isnt sealing properly, but theres quite a few orings, as that all it is is dump chambers and orings, so you cant really tell whats what and where its coming from. Just the best advice I could give you

I'd go with Mobsterboy on this one. It sounds like you may have a bad oring or two somewhere in the valve. Start fresh with genuine AGD orings and you eliminate many potential problems.

Hissing in the body around the frame area is generally an on-off oring that is leaking (a bottom one).

A bad regulator oring would give you velocity problems like you are experiencing. Also, check your ASA to make sure the pin isn't getting pressed too far into the bottle regulator. It can cause flow problems with your air system which could cause chuffing at higher rates of fire.
