Have improvements been made to cure the blocking, separation, leaky o-rings, etc?

I don't know the answer to your question. Ivan answer that I purchased 2 for my auto repair shop ,and 1 leaked and the other didn't. We used an o ring for the repair . We hung ours in the air about 20 feet, but found a o ring prior just in case. That was about 6 months ago and have had no issues since. I would purchase them again without hesitation. Good luck.

Sorry, I don't know. I don't use mine enough to determine if it leaks or not.

The problem is that the top and bottom parts of the metal separator cone aren't properly sealed. The raised dot on the top cone should be lined up with the notch in the base cone. Righted the round nut at the top tight enough so that the top cone completely closes the notch in the bottom cone. That should cure the problem.

most gets applied to the o rings....use a very little bit on the metal shaft to help move that shaft seal into place. this is a great seal replacement for the price and solved all my issues....good luck on yours

A suggestion to try is to lubricate your existing o-ring with some petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or venerable oil before reinstalling. That may stop the leak and restore your current o-ring. Just be careful not to use too much and don't use anything you wouldn't put in your own mouth. This technique has worked for 2 years for me with no deterioration or leaks at the o-ring seals. I haved used Vaseline, Crisco, and antibiotic ointment in the tube also works well and caused no problems with my fish.

Mine did. Works perfectly. Just get the O rings placed properly and you are good to go!

Did you remove the rubber stoppers that block the slots the docks hooks slide into?

Yes, have. I bought a set of 3 and the one bottle leaks terribly from the spay nozzle and from the trigger. I feel there should be some type of small o-ring or something in these areas to prevent this. It becomes a real nuisance.

Agree with previous answer. Little tricky when trying to save the stock o-rings to reuse try not to damage. Took about 30mins in all on my 05 custom xl

Yes. Like the others said. High quality gaskets and o-rings. My repair job is still working fine...no leaks.

Yes. Get yourself a 1/4 inch ID 3/8 OD rubber o-ring. Remove the cap, put the o-ring just over the cone section, and then put the cap back on. That fixed it for me.

Doug: I will state the obvious as I am sure you have checked these: 1. No obstruction at the intake of where the cleaning solution attaches to the machine (both in the cleaning solution tank and at the end of where it connects to the machine) 2. No obstruction at the vents of the cleaning solution tank (see the cap)

Not sure of they have fixed the issue but I haven't had a problem in the 3 months or so I have had mine. My wife really loves her kitchen-aid and all the accessories she has, this being one.

I think it is "o" rings now but you can fix it . They have the stuff at Menards.

I haven't had that problem, but needed a gasket. Called Slime and they were very responsive - hopefully they can help you out too.

The newer units from Givi use a couple of rubber O-rings where the two halves of the bar join up front. As I understand it, this was done specifically to prevent the buzzing and rattling coming from that part of the bars.
