unwanted reactive firing, please help!

I've found (with x valves) the marker will go full auto if the regulator seat oring is in the regulator seat holder. If you take it out of the holder and place it in the back half of the valve instead, this usually fixed the full auto problems that I had.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS!
I followed your directions, and when I turned the bottomline on/off on a burst of gas flew out the back of the valve and into my face, thank goodness I was wearning goggles while testing or I would not have an eye. Buddy, that is incredibly dangerous and can kill your internals. That oring is obviously important, because a burst of air came out of the back of the regulator that shifted my mask that was tight on my face. Do not mess with that. It scared the out of me!

probably didn't listen to my directions properly. best leave the tech work to those experienced enough to work on them. the o-ring was not to be removed but placed alternatively in the back half of the valve. better luck next time.

try to put in the field strip screw with a wrench , a little tightness goes a long way ..

What will that do? does it help, I don't want gas bursting out of my valve in my face again.

Maybe you should read Geoffs post and put the o-ring back in, I think that might help the air in your face problem.

Make sure all orings are in their proper place.

AGD sells the proper on-off pins. Measure yours for length. It should be .750" long. If it is shorter than that, it can cause high reactivity or full auto. Micromag on-off pins were usually around .675" long.
