I have been having a problem with my vx10 second stages. I have been
using vx10 seconds on poseidon firsts for some time now and have not had
a problem with them previously. I had the them serviced for the first
time this May; I had used them for three years previous with no
problems.

Now i am experiencing freeflows from the second stage. I have a couple
of other us diver seconds which i put on the firsts to eliminate them as
the source of the problem and they work fine together. On the seconds I
have opened the cover and all the parts appear to be fine. If I open
them with the gas turned on the free flow disappears when the cover is
halfway unscrewed. It seems that the small lever attached to the
breathing resistance screw down is not tight enough or at the wrong
height. One of my buddies mentioned he had a similar problem and that
you need a special wrench from beuchat to deal with it.

Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is it possible to purchase this
special wrench? Anyone want to sell me one?  anyone even have a picture
of it??  Right now I have the regs at the shop, but I would still like
to know how I could have dealt with the problem myself.

Thanks,

Al Marvelli
