I have 2 mate that use this and it works fine:
did you asked to the supplier how to clean/refurbish it?
At last you could ship to the supplier for a check ... try this

My friend had a problem with another FPR (like SARD) and solved with some particular lube ... i have to investigate
[QUOTE]

I contacted the seller in Germany and he said try adjusting it up and down.... well thats how I came to find this thing wont adjust doh

Finally arrived the inlet pipes from DSOP

Not a nice experience to buy from DSOP ... i shipped th original inlet pipes: then they ship me back a suspension system that had to ko to KW (for refurbish)!!

And the nice german answer was: it is impossible. (F##k)

The inlet pipe needed also some internal works to clean the steps done by welding ...











and here with the Bailey DV26 /maybe i will need a silicon 90° pipe)
